Male administrators--and the male football players they love to pamper--rule sixteen-year-old Vivian Carter's conservative Texas high school. One day Vivian cracks; the "dutiful" girl becomes a "Moxie Girl." Channeling her rage, Vivian pens and distributes an anonymous zine, Moxie, that addresses the school's systemic misogyny. Mathieu keeps the pace brisk and the stakes climbing in this approachable, empowering story of modern teen activism.
