In "The Turned-About Girls," Beulah Marie Dix delivers a poignant exploration of female empowerment through the lens of adolescence. Combining vivid characterizations with a nuanced narrative style, Dix encapsulates the internal struggles and societal expectations faced by young women in the early 20th century. The novel deftly interweaves themes of identity, rebellion, and self-discovery, set against a rich backdrop of Victorian moral standards. The dialogues brim with authenticity, reflecting the complex emotions of the characters as they navigate their paths toward independence and self-acceptance. Beulah Marie Dix was a trailblazing author whose works often highlighted the experiences of women, resonating with the feminist movements blossoming in her time.

    The storm had been brewing for weeks.
    When I look back and remember those days of dripping rain, the thick grey cloud blanketing the sky, the rolling thunder, I wonder how we didn't see it coming. We didn't realise it was building into something.
    Back then, we just thought it was stormy weather. We had no idea what lay ahead.
    We couldn't ever have imagined how it would engulf us.
    Mali, Jonesey, Fara and Petey are reluctantly gathered in the library. They're not friends and they each have reasons they don't want to be there. As the rain starts, they do not bond as a group. Mali does not engage, Jonesy takes offence, Petey ridicules the others, Fara is silent, and their teacher Ms Devine is distracted. Outside, the bad weather steadily worsens. Soon they are trapped in the school, and pulling together may be the only way out when the storm begins.
