Publisher's summary
Punk rock zines inspire a feminist revolution at a small-town Texan high school in the new novel from Jennifer Matheiu, author of The Truth About Alice.
Moxie girls fight back!
Vivian Carter's mom was a Riot Grrrl in the 1990s, but now she and Viv live a pretty quiet life in a small Texas town. When Viv witnesses a series of sexist incidents at her high school, she takes a page from her mom's past and makes a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. Viv is just blowing off steam, but before she knows it she's started a revolution.
The latest novel from Jennifer Mathieu offers everything fans love about her writing - a relatable protagonist with a distinct voice, a conflict relevant to current events, and, ultimately, a story that is both heartbreaking and hopeful.
Featured Article: Why Riot Grrrl Still Matters
In the early 1990s in the hazy fog of the Pacific Northwest, a movement was brewing. A gathering of women convened in Olympia, the capital of Washington State, to discuss the pitfalls that plagued their local punk scene—an environment rocked by sexism that was, at best, uncomfortable and, at worst, openly hostile to fans and artists who didn't mirror lineups dominated by straight white men. Whether Bikini Kill holds a prime spot on your playlist or you've yet to hear the drumbeat born from a woman oppressed, these listens offer a fully-fledged history of the riot grrrl revolution.

Most high school sports teams have rivalries with other Schools. At Hamilton High, it’s a civil war: the football team versus the soccer team. And for her part, Lissa is sick of it.

She is done competing with a bunch of sweaty boys for her own boyfriend’s attention. Lissa decides to end the rivalry once and for all: She and the other players’ girlfriends go on a hookup strike.

Joanna Gordon has been out and proud for years, but when her popular radio evangelist father remarries and decides to move all three of them from Atlanta to the more conservative Rome, Georgia, he asks Jo to do the impossible: to lie low for the rest of her senior year. And Jo reluctantly agrees. Although it is (mostly) much easier for Jo to fit in as a straight girl, things get complicated when she meets Mary Carlson, the oh-so-tempting sister of her new friend at school. But Jo couldn't possibly think of breaking her promise to her dad.

She convinces her friend Harvey, who she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that's as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her archnemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger).

But Dave has a secret: he's broken rule number eight, never pine silently after someone for the entirety of high school. It's either that or break rule number ten, never date your best friend.

Funny Strong Girl Power,.. yes, I mean feminism.
I have always needed this book. We're here. We matter. And, we are brilliant. This book should be read in every high school literature class. At least, there would be one book with a female main character.

Cute and inspiring
This book felt more on the younger side of YA than I'd usually go for. But I still loved it. It had likable characters, and Viv was genuine and kinda just "average", in a good way. I mean, she wasn't particularly brave or anything, but she still wanted to do what was right, and please the people she was around, even though she did not know exactly how to achieve either.
The plot is not heavy and the characters are not incredibly developed, but I loved the story and the message. I love how it shows that feminism is not a bad thing, although many communities can be touchy to the topic. Mathieu approached every-day-girl-life very well, and with enough care that it'd be interesting (but still relevant and important) to the target audience. This sometimes can be triggering, and whereas I think it's important to discuss all the bad stuff girls and women go thru, here i was able to enjoy the story and still think of the current/past feminism in a light manner. I hope the people who read this will be inspired to learn more about women's history :)))

A great book about being a girl in high school
This book was so well done and the narration fits the book perfectly. Many of the examples in this book are what girls experience in high school everywhere. Moxie gives hope and a voice to that experience.

Made me rage and cheer! Moxie girls fight back!
Not going to lie, I expected this book to be a little irritating. “Moxie” seems so old fashioned. But I loved everything about it. The characters were multidimensional. The indignities the girls suffered felt real. The voice acting was perfect. Read it. Read it with your teenage kids of any gender. You’ll be glad you did.

Pretty Fun Feminist Read
I liked this — it wasn’t like a great work of complex feminist theory, but it was a nice little piece of wish-fulfillment.

Great Story about Young Activism/ Feminism
I enjoyed this book so much! The main character was sweet and relatable. This book is full of strong "girl power" moments that actually gave me goosebumps (as corny as that sounds). This book fills you with all of the warm, fuzzy feminist feels!

Great book
This book is a great read. It very empowering for girl and women alike. It's a great representation of young women advocacy. I love how its also inspired by the riot girrrrl movement from the 90s. Great book and great message.

Irony
It was a well told well read story and I don’t want to discourage folks for listening. However the irony of this girl power story and the hypocrisy it f the girl telling the sorry stood out. While in their high school they are judged, belittled, not believed and put in their place, this gal is doing the very same to her mother’s new boyfriend. She sees a bumper sticker on his car and without even asking if it’s sticker or perhaps a left over on a used car she judges him and puts him in a box of disgust and almost hate. She is 16 years old and the only thing she knows based on this bumper sticker is what her Mom has taught her and it’s the same
mom who is dating this man. It put me off and I really wanted to leave a nasty review and stop listening but I was enjoying the rest of the story. The girl does soften and see things differently eventually but she displayed the classic I’m doing what’s right based on my feelings and you are wrong based on not knowing you at all. It’s too bad because it’s a nice little story otherwise although a bit too long.

Fabulous Feminist YA Fiction
LOVED this! This and Amy Reed’s Nowhere Girls are the books I needed in high school. Highly recommended! The reader is also really wonderful.
