In the heart of a small Texas town, where high school hierarchy is dictated by football stars and outdated traditions, Vivian Carter has reached her breaking point. Tired of the relentless sexism and suffocating dress codes, Viv finds inspiration in the echoes of her mother's rebellious Riot Grrrl past. With a spark of courage and a lick of defiance, she crafts a feminist zine, Moxie, and distributes it anonymously among her peers. What begins as a vent for her frustration quickly blossoms into a movement, breathing life into a hidden network of solidarity among the girls at her school. As Moxie girls band together, crossing the invisible lines of cliques and social standings, Viv discovers the power of collective action and the unyielding strength of female friendship. Through whispered hallways and clandestine meetings, a revolution stirs, challenging the status quo and lighting the fuse for change, proving once and for all that girls with moxie don't back down. Jennifer Mathieu's "Moxie" is a battle cry wrapped in a coming-of-age story, a testament to the strength found in unity and the transformative power of defiance. It's a narrative that captures the essence of teenage rebellion and the struggle for gender equality, making it a beacon for anyone who's ever felt oppressed by the weight of societal norms. With sharp wit and unwavering determination, Vivian's journey from a silent observer to a roaring advocate for change is a rallying call to young women everywhere. "Moxie" isn't just a book; it's a movement, a declaration that when girls come together, they can shake the foundations of their world.

... it occurs to me that this is what it means to be a feminist. Not a humanist or an equalist or whatever. But a feminist. It’s not a bad word. After today it might be my favorite word. Because really all it is is girls supporting each other and wanting to be treated like human beings in a world that’s always finding ways to tell them they’re not.
