Geri Horner: how girl power has changed in 2019.

For a huge generation of young women, the Spice Girls were a gateway into feminism. While our teenage selves might not have related to Gloria Steinem or Germaine Greer, we did understand the basic principles of girl power – an idea that promoted female friendship and strength.

“I love the phrase ‘girl power’; it’s stood the test of time and it’s been around forever,” she told us. “For me, if you look it up, it means equalisation between the sexes. It means everybody, whether you’re a man, woman or something in between. Forget about labels, it’s about embracing everyone’s individuality and giving them the opportunity and gender equality and pushing that forward.”

Of course, feminism today is more in the public conscious than ever before, and Horner is keen to stress that its evolution means that women no longer need to adopt the stereotypically masculine traits to be regarded as powerful. Although the Spice Girls tour wrapped up last weekend, Horner’s latest project involves yet another key player from her musical past – Virgin’s Richard Branson. This time round, the pair are collaborating on travel, rather than music, specifically on the Virgin Voyages RockStar suites – the most lavish and considered rooms on board the company’s luxury cruises.
