Girl Power

Girl power

Girl power is a slogan that encourages and celebrates women's empowerment and positivity. The slogan's invention is credited to the American punk band Bikini Kill, who published a zine called Bikini Kill #2: Girl Power in 1991. It was then popularized in the mainstream by the British girl group the Spice Girls in the mid-1990s. According to Rolling Stone magazine, the Spice Girls' usage of "girl power" was one of the defining cultural touchstones that shaped the Millennial generation, particularly during their childhood in the 1990s. The usage of the slogan is still considered relevant three decades later in the 2020s through continued feminist movements.

Girl Power is a queer feminist video made in 1992 by Sadie Benning with a Fisher-Price PixelVision camera. The video, which runs for 15 minutes, is considered at once a reflection on Benning's unhappy childhood and a celebration of her sexuality and the Riot grrrl subculture. The video was featured in "Pixel This Vision", a project organized by the Balagan Experimental Film & Video Series to "put together a program of the best of PixelVision"
