Major pop stars enjoy a celebrity status that allows them to act as spokespeople for all kinds of causes. Britney Spears has been at the very top and also at the very bottom. This has forged a new Britney: wiser, greater, more human than ever.
Feminismo Pop is a series of staged pieces in which they’re the divas but we decide on the causes.
