A review by trin
Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
5.0
Fuck. Yes.
A realistic and powerful depiction of a teenage girl's ascent into feminism -- and truly badass activism. Mathieu does an incredible job depicting the myriad ways we're societally conditioned to accept the status quo, with loads of empathy for all the girls and women (and even guys) at different stages of this journey. Moxie is also funny, diverse, and stylish -- the feminist zines the protagonist is inspired to make are true works of art, and I wish they were real and I owned them.
I want girls everywhere to read this book and be inspired. I want to be a Moxie Girl. It's time to fight back.
