Miss Martindale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marianne Martindale (Catherine Tyrell, Mari de Colwyn, Mary Scarlett) is an English writer and columnist.[1] As Miss Martindale, she was a prominent public face of Aristasia,[2] an all-female subculture inspired by the Traditionalist School and early twentieth-century culture.[1]

Activities[]

From 1982 to 1992 Martindale was one of the leaders of the Silver Sisterhood group based in Burtonport, County Donegal in Ireland. That group is known for creating early text adventure video games such as Bugsy[3] and Jack the Ripper,[3] the first game to be given an '18' rating.[3][4][5]

Martindale co-founded the Wildfire Club publishing house and edited a collection of stories titled Disciplined Ladies.[1] From 2003 to 2005, Martindale wrote the Ladies' Column in The Chap magazine and was Aristasia's media representative. She discontinued this in accordance with the Bridgehead Doctrine, which discouraged Aristasians from publicly commenting on "foreign" (i.e. Earth) culture and politics.[6]

Beliefs[]

Martindale received national attention in the British press in the 1990s for her advocacy of corporal punishment.[7][1] Martindale's recorded statements and interviews made clear her belief in discipline as spiritual and purifying.[8]

Martindale always maintained that, as an Aristasian, she was neutral on matters of "Tellurian" (i.e. Earth) politics. Martindale is a royalist and imperialist, but with loyalty only to the Aristasian monarchy and empire.[1]
