When I was young I was listening to the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child. I was singing 'Independent Woman' and 'Survivor,' and it was all about Girl Power and being with your friends. I don't think I was singing, 'Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?'
Feminism means something - legislation, cultural change - but 'Girl Power' meant nothing more than being friends with your friends.
I think there's a contrast between being vulnerable and, you know, 'Girl Power!' I think it's important to have that balance because you don't have to be strong all the time.
Sometimes true girl power means accepting that we are actually vulnerable and even powerless - then figuring out how to adapt and have our needs met in other ways.
I'm just so glad that girl power is working in Hollywood.
My music, my songs are 100 percent inspired by girl power.
We're all about girl power and everything, but we cry sometimes, and we're softies, so we can't always be like, 'Woo, girl power. We're going to come dominate the boys, blah blah blah.' That's not always the case, which is why us girls have each other to lean on and give each other advice.
I love all girl squads. I'm all for, like, girl power and friendship, and I'm all about that.
I love girl power.
I love Ruth Brown, not just her singing, but Ruth Brown has more girl power than anyone, because she fought hard against people who ripped her off and then helped other artists through the Rhythm and Blues Foundation.
I was not an attractive child. When I didn't use my Girl Scouts uniform as a uniform, I used it as a tent.
My purpose... to go on with my heart and soul, devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts, and heart and hand with them, we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy, healthy and holy.
In 1976, I was invited to interview for the CEO position of the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
Girl Scouts helps girls make decisions that are right for them and offer support.
The Girl Scouts is an organization that constantly gives you new goals to achieve and that's what life is all about.
Girl Scouts is a girl-serving organization, so our members are girls.
Sometimes when I speak to groups or I'm interviewed by a journalist, I ask them to imagine their communities without Girl Scouts - to imagine the thousands of food drives and clothing and toy collections that would never take place if not for Girl Scouts.
Girl Scouts is such an iconic organization that it's easy to overlook how daring an idea it was for founder Juliette Gordon Low to gather those first 18 girls in that troop in Savannah, Georgia. It was 1912, after all, and women wouldn't earn the right to vote for another eight years.
At Girl Scouts, we create leaders.
Many people don't know, but American Girl Scouts get to travel the world, and that's a very good thing, as the more we can expose our young people to other cultures, the better off we'll be in this increasingly globalized environment.
