Synopsis:
Moxie girls fight back!
Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with her small-town Texas high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. Fed up with sexist dress codes and hallway harassment. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules.
Viv’s mom was a punk rock Riot Grrrl in the ’90s, so now Viv takes a page from her mother’s past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She’s just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. Pretty soon Viv is forging friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, and she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.
Review:
Moxie is a story of young females who are fed up with the sexist dress codes and football worshiping principal at their school. Vivan Carter decides it's time for something to happen so she creates a zine to let other girls know they aren't alone. When other girls jump in and start fighting back they soon become a force like the school has never seen.
I really liked this book! I love how the girls all came together to stand against the sexism in their school. I love how the characters fought back against the "boys will be boys" mentality. And I really really love how they showed sexism in high schools in a way that actually relates to high school students. So many times young girls are told to just get over things that happen in high school because it seems small or insignificant to other people. But I have to ask this... WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY HAVE TO? Why is not getting equal treatment and respect something you should get over because it is just "silly little boy things." Moxie will have you fighting back and saying HELL NO to "boys will be boys" mentality.This one is for the girls. For the girls who have ever been told that "boys will be boys." For the girls who feel like no one is listening. For the girls who feel like fighting back is pointless. For all the girls who have ever been told to cover up because they wore a tank top to school. This one is for us all!
Sounds really well done! I love that it felt realistic to teen girls. And yeah, that whole "boys will be boys" mentality needs to GOOOO AWAYYYY.
