The Prime of Miss Jean Brody

Miss Jean Brodie is a teacher in her "prime" who teaches what she thinks is important. She picks six girls as her favorites (know to everyone as "The Brodie set") to teach art, love, and how to be a proper woman. She encourages the girls to become sexually active and tells them stories of the love of her life. The book details the lives of the girls until they are older and no longer talk to Miss Brodie.
