A school zine becomes a collective voice

At a small-town Texas high school, Vivian Carter channels frustration with sexist rules, harassment, and the favored status of the football team into an anonymous feminist zine. What begins as a personal outlet draws responses from classmates, and the story traces how shared concerns can connect girls across social divides. The book places school life alongside a mother’s Riot Grrrl past, linking Vivian’s act of protest to an earlier feminist scene. Its central tension is between the rules students are expected to accept and the solidarity they build when they challenge them together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in high-school fiction about gender and power.
  • Readers drawn to stories of student activism and grassroots organizing.
  • Readers interested in feminist themes and connections across generations.

Book overview

Now a Netflix Original Film directed by Amy Poehler!

"Moxie is sweet, funny, and fierce. Read this and then join the fight."--Amy Poehler

An unlikely teenager starts a feminist revolution at a small-town Texas high school in this novel from Jennifer Mathieu, author of The Truth About Alice.

MOXIE GIRLS FIGHT BACK!

Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with an administration at her high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. Fed up with sexist dress codes, hallway harassment, and gross comments from guys during class. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules.

Viv's mom was a tough-as-nails, punk rock Riot Grrrl in the '90s, and 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. As Viv forges friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.

Moxie is a book about high school life that will make you wanna riot!
