Jennifer Mathieu's Moxie
This book centers on a teen girl who is fed up with the sexist jerks at her school, and inspired by her mom's Riot Grrl past, starts a ZINE. (This made me feel very old. Why are my teen years retro??) Anyway, this was very awesome and girl power-y and had some great female friendships. I could have done without the romance, which mainly exists to add a sappy touch (and to argue with the “not all men” viewpoint), but on the whole I found this fist-pumpingly good. A/A-.
