Aaaaantes de que digan algo, déjenme aclarar que estoy completamente a favor de todo el #girlpower y de libros como este. ¡Moría de ganas de leer Moxie! Necesitamos más libros de este estilo y me emociona el mero hecho de que empiecen a haber cada vez más. Cuántas historias inspiradoras que contar... Aunque le de sólo 3 estrellas, voy a estar esparciendo mi hype y amor por este libro por todos lados PORQUE ES MUY PODEROSO, IMPORTANTE E INSPIRADOR. Y eso voy a gritarlo más de una vez. Moxie de Jennifer Mathieu es un libro al que vale la pena dedicarle un rato, ya que es una lectura rápida de la que no se van a arrepentir. Y no se trata sólo sobre el feminismo (aunque es un libro que abarca eso en un 90%), sino que tiene más profundidad en tooooodos los temas que la autora decide tocar.

“Making girls monitor their behavior and their appearance because boys are supposedly unable to control themselves? That is one of the oldest fucking tricks in the book.”

Moxie es un libro sobre el feminismo. Es una novela de ficción corta e inspiradora que no idealiza la lucha por el feminismo ni nada por el estilo, sino que la presenta de una manera sumamente interesante y, en mi opinión, realista. Le di sólo 3 estrellas porque, como NOVELA, como OBRA LITERARIA, me parece muy sencilla. Mientras leía este libro, sentí que Jennifer Mathieu lo estaba escribiendo sólo para contar la historia y para transmitir el mensaje, pero olvidando que hay mucho más a los libros que lo que quieren transmitir. Y eso me pareció muy simplista. La narración no es nada del otro mundo, los personajes secundarios simplemente están ahí dibujados, es demasiado corto y se centra sólo en algunas cosas. No me parece una obra maestra literaria.

Peeeero aún así se los recomiendo muchísimo. Si están interesados en leer este tipo de cosas, NO PUEDEN PERDERSE Moxie de Jennifer Mathieu. Y si no... TAMBIÉN DEBERÍAN LEERLO.

“it occurs to me that this is what it means to be a feminist. Not a humanist or an equalist or whatever. But a feminist. It’s not a bad word. After today it might be my favorite word. Because really all it is is girls supporting each other and wanting to be treated like human beings in a world that’s always finding ways to tell them they’re not.”

Great introduction to feminism to teenagers. It was stupidily easy to see the sexism that is going on. Almost too easy on my 30 year old self but I liked it.

“girls are a revolutionary soul force that can change the world for real.”

Oh my gosh what an amazing empowering book! I freaking LOVED this! There was no slut shaming, no girl-on-girl hate, just girls of all race and clique coming together to defeat the deep south patriarchy!

This was seriously such an empowering, zeal filled read! I proabably shouldn't have listened to it while at work when I already want to burn the place down. 😜

I bought the audiobook and I'm so glad I'll have it to listen to over and over again (and I will!) I also ordered the hardcover because OBVIOUS REASONS!

Ladies go read this. and remember MOXIE GIRLS FIGHT BACK!
