Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with sexist dress codes. Fed up with gross comments from guys during class. Fed up with her high school teachers who let it happen ! But most of all, Viv is fed up with always following the rules. Viv's mum was a punk rock Riot Grrrl, inspiring Viv to create Moxie, a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She's just blowing off stream, but other girls respond and begin to spread the Moxie message : Moxie girls fight back ! And before Viv knows it, she has started a girl revolution.
