Moxie by jennifer mathieu5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() But going through her mother’s shoebox full of Riot Grrl stuff from when she was a teenager lights a fire under her. ![]() ![]() Viv is over it, but what can she do? Two more years and she’s out of there. ![]() Vivian Carter lives in one of those small Texas towns where football is king, the girls’ soccer team is still wearing uniforms from the 1990s, guys can get away with whatever gross behavior they want, and girls are routinely inspected by male staff in front of the entire class in order to ensure their clothing meets some nebulous, never-really-stated standard. I had to wait a few days to begin it- first, because I was finishing up The Lost, and then because I was plagued by an awful, hideous migraine, the kind that blurs your vision and makes you entirely sure your head is going to explode in a gelatinous shower of goo and various bodily fluids all over the living room wall. The movie looked awesome- and there was a book? I skedaddled off to the library website and immediately requested their copy of Moxie (Roaring Brook Press, 2017). Time for something lighter! I was scrolling through Twitter the other day when I came across Jennifer Mathieu retweeting the trailer for a new Netflix movie out next month, Moxie, based on her book by the same name (and directed by and starring Amy Poehler!). ![]()
