Query if Malory Towers is particularly known for lesbian subtext. While I'm all for the saffic fandom, outside of online fandom and some lesbian women who identify (recognise?) Bill and Clarissa as being in a butch/femme relationship, I don't think many people would identify MT as particularly notable for lesbian subtext - especially when compared to the hothouse atmosphere of earlier examples of the genre. Perhaps more specific references to examples (Bill and Clarissa, Sally's jealousy, Mary-Lou's apprent crush on Daphne) and the fact they they are open to these readings would be more accurate and helpful than making a claim for the subtext being a reason the books are well-known?
