Obviously the Spice Girls were going to come first. Five of the most influential 90s icons shouted from the rooftops about friendship, strength and not conforming to the way society thinks us ladies should behave. Even their nicknames gave every type of girl hope that they could be whoever they wanted to be. Also, 90s style inspo anyone?<\/p>\n
This film completely shocks everybody who watches it. We see a self-obsessed \u2018dumb blonde\u2019 sorority girl who has her heart broken by her super rich, smart, misogynistic boyfriend who wants to find a smarter girl before he moves on to College. In a surprise turn of events, Elle Woods lands herself a place at Harvard University, which is notoriously difficult to get into. Not only does she find her true calling as a Lawyer, she also surpasses everyone\u2019s expectations and decides her ex boyf isn\u2019t worth her time. Elle Woods, proving women everywhere can be stylish and smart!<\/p>\n Throwing it back yet again to the 1990s, Dirty Girls<\/i> is a documentary that follows two teens around their school, who are repeatedly snubbed by the other kids in school. The doc was shot in 1996, edited in 2000, but didn\u2019t go viral until 2013, and shows the girls standing up for themselves by creating a zine, which they distributed across the school. This documentary is perfect for all our misfit ladies out there!<\/p>\n He Named Me Malala<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n You will almost definitely have heard of Malala Yousafzai, a Girl Power icon in her own right who, at the age of just 15 was targeted and severely wounded by the Taliban because she and her father were advocating for girls education. Malala is now one of the world\u2019s most recognised campaigners for girls\u2019 rights to education. Watch this now.<\/p>\n Bend It Like Beckham<\/i><\/p>\n Jesminder \u2018Jess\u2019 Bhamra, an 18-year-old Punjabi Sikh is a huge fan of football, but her dreams are quashed time after time because she\u2019s a girl and her very traditional family won\u2019t allow it. After many trials and tribulations, Jess beats all the odds and proves herself as the sick footballer she is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Ciara Kelly The last couple of years has seen a huge rise in the feminist movement, with more women…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[123,136],"tags":[992,936,5450,4319,945],"class_list":["post-353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-us-2","category-watch-us-2","tag-feminism","tag-films","tag-girl-boss-us","tag-girl-power-us","tag-movies"],"yoast_head":"\n
