Blyton is hardly a common source of feminist inspiration. But with Malory Towers’s emphasis on women’s potential, it arguably chimes with current conversations around gender. Indeed, the stage production is billed as “the original ‘Girl Power’ story”. Rice points out that the all-female character list means it aces the Bechdel test, which measures the representation of women in works of art. “I love how uninterested in traditional ideas of femininity the characters are,” she says. “It’s such an empowering picture of girlhood for young people today. Nobody is asking them to conform.” Whyte, Alexandra (17 June 2020). "Malory Towers takes an international trip". Kidscreen . Retrieved 12 August 2020. Birgitte Solem (Seasons 2–3) as Miss Elizabeth Grayling, the good-natured Headmistress at Mallory Towers.Despite being set in the late 1940s, the series has been given a contemporary twist and will tell the story of universal experiences such as shifting cliques, FOMO, bullying, crushes, peer pressure, and self-doubt. Set in 1940s Britain, the show follows the adventures of 12-year-old Darrell Rivers as she leaves home to attend an all-girls' boarding school and "explores a nostalgic world of midnight feasts, lacrosse, pranks, a mystery ghost and lasting friendships." The TV series updates Blyton's post-war period piece for a modern audience with a racially diverse and inclusive cast. Moira Linton appears during Darrell's fifth year and is appointed Head Girl of the form. She is domineering and hard. We follow the girls through six years at the school, sharing in their challenges, disappointments and achievements as they work hard and play hard. Can they live up to Miss Grayling's expectations and turn from inky-fingered schoolgirls into "good, sound women the world can lean on"? Geneviève Beaudet as Mam’Zelle Rougier, the French teacher at Malory Towers. She is strict and hyper-critical, but later gets better and listening and interacting. In addition to teaching, she oversees the girls when they reach the Fourth Form as their mistress.
