About the book

'I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH!' Zoella

'... this is my new favorite book. I'm proud to be a Moxie girl!' Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places and Holding Up the Universe

When an unlikely teenager stands up to sexism in her high school she unwittingly starts a feminist revolution that shakes her whole town. It's time to fight like a girl! Perfect for fans of Holly Bourne.

Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with her high school teachers who think 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 mum 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 Moxie, a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She's just blowing off steam, but other girls respond and spread the Moxie message. As Viv forges friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, she realises that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.

TIME TO FIGHT LIKE A GIRL

A page-turning read with a feminist message, for anyone who has ever had to deal with #everydaysexism

'MOXIE is sweet funny and fierce. Read this and then join the fight!' AMY POEHLER

    Ich habe das Buch geliebt!! Es hat mal wieder gezeigt, wie wichtig es ist, dass weiblich sozialisierte Personen zusammen halten müssen und wie durch kleine Aktionen etwas ganz Großes werden kann! Meine (neue) Obsession: feministische Jugendromane!

    MOXIE- ZEIT ZURÜCKZUSCHLAGEN

    Ein super Buch!!! Habe es von Anfang an geliebt was warscheinlich auch daran liegt das ich mich für Feminismus interessiere. Ist eine gute Mischung daraus und Romance! Hier eine kleine Inhaltsangabe: Die schüchterne 16-jährige Schülerin Vivian möchte auf keinen Fall auffallen und nirgends anecken. Als aber ihre neue Mitschülerin Lucy sich sexistische Kommentare gefallen lassen muss, hat Vivian die Nase voll. Inspiriert von der rebellischen Vergangenheit ihrer Mutter gründet sie ein anonym veröffentlichtes Untergrundmagazin namens Moxie, mit dem sie auf das toxische Verhalten ihrer Mitschüler aufmerksam machen will. Unversehens tritt sie damit eine Revolution an ihrer Highschool los.
