Marianne Martindale (Catherine Tyrell, Mari de Colwyn, Mary Scarlett) is an English writer and columnist. As Miss Martindale, she was a prominent public face of Aristasia, an all-female subculture inspired by the Traditionalist School and early twentieth-century culture, many members of which attended a "school" at her West London home. Aristasia is a feminine version of the Greek word aristos, which means 'the best'. 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 and Jack the Ripper, the first game to be given an '18' rating. Martindale received national attention in the British press in the 1990s for her advocacy of corporal punishment.
