It’s a reminder that it’s ok to question things, it’s ok to use your voice, and that feminism isn’t a bad thing, it is exactly what you want it to be. This is the kind of book you want in the hands of your teenage daughter, and to be fair, your son to. Pretty soon Viv is forging friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, and she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution. She’s just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. Viv’s mom was a punk rock Riot Grrrl in the ’90s, so now Viv takes a page from her mother’s past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules. Fed up with sexist dress codes and hallway harassment. Fed up with her small-town Texas high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong.
