The story

Jean Brodie is a teacher at The Marcia Blaine School for Girls in Edinburgh in the 1930s. Brodie is known for her tendency to stray from the school's curriculum, to romanticise fascist leaders such as Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco, and to believe herself to be in the prime of life—in particular, her sexual prime. Brodie devotes her energy and attention to girls she sees as special or mouldable, who are referred to as the "Brodie Set".
