It isn’t often that you come across
a book with such a strong female character. Viv is fed up with her school and
especially the principal. Fed up with the sexist dress codes, sexual
harassment, and a football team that can do no wrong and has the best of
everything- equipment, uniforms, etc. So one night instead of going to the
football game (which the entire town literally shuts down for), she
single-handedly creates the Moxie
zine. Moxie unites all the girls in the school to fight back. It takes off like
rapid fire and soon the Moxie group is formed. This book is fun and
entertaining while providing a great lesson in feminism. I feel this book will
empower many teen readers. It is definitely a feel good book and will inspire
all. Moxie Girls Fight Back!!!
