"This Sabrina was one who could balance it all and be anything (and everything) she wanted to be: an A-grade student with a keen interest in science and maths, a fashion mogul, a fighter of injustice, and a figure respected by both students and teachers. The episode “Dummy for Love”, for example, sees Sabrina fight for her free speech when Vice Principal Kraft (Martin Mull) demands she retracts an editorial bemoaning the school’s obsession with sports. Sabrina’s aunts also acted as strong role models, from Zelda’s scientific research, which at one point resulted in her summoning both Marie and Pierre Curie for help, to Hilda’s love of classical music. The show’s creator, Nell Scovell, explained that she was motivated to create the series in order to reflect what she would have loved “as that weird young girl who grew up to write for "Letterman" and "Spy" and "The Simpsons”. However, Sabrina was not only someone for smart, funny girls to relate to, she was someone they could look up to and emulate as well. The “girl power” image extended offscreen, too, in the series’ majority female cast, majority female writers room, and in its female showrunner. The witch was still, in a way, an image of perfected femininity, but one now finally under the control of women, who could use it project their own ideas of empowerment."
