Sweet, funny, and inspiring, Moxie gets a new look with Netflix's film adaptation. The book explores feminism for teenage girls.
Vivian Carter is tired. Tired of the school administration, which never sees the football players' mistakes. Tired of sexist dress codes, harassment in the hallways, and guys' rude comments during class. But most of all, Viv is tired of always following the rules.
Viv's mother was a tough cookie, a member of the Riot Grrrls in the '90s. Inspired by these stories, Viv takes a page from her mother's past and creates a feminist fanzine that she distributes anonymously to her schoolmates. It's just a way to vent, but the girls respond.
Soon, Viv is making friends with girls she never imagined she'd be friends with. And then she realizes that what she's started is nothing short of a feminist revolution at school.
“ Moxie rocks. It’s sweet, funny, and brutal. Read this book and then join the fight.”
