However, when she turned 16, her aunts, Hilda and Zelda, revealed that she came from a long line of witches and would begin to develop her own magical powers. As previously mentioned, Sabrina did not reflect the true practicing witches of modern society, but the show used magic as a way to approach a feminist perspective on life. The character of Sabrina has a gender-blind worldview, with her aunts as supporting role models, both wonderful examples of women who don't fit traditional gender roles. These sisters were very career oriented, Hilda an entrepreneur and small business owner and Zelda a scientist and professor, they were in no rush to get married and often stated that women are powerful, intelligent and should never be denied the right to use all their power (magical or otherwise) to its maximum potential. The tone of the show is best described in an article by two professors, Projansky and Vande Berg, who analyzed the feminist characteristics of the show: "The show criticizes gender and other discrimination, emphasizes acceptance and equality on the basis of both gender that of sexuality, and portrays Sabrina's aunts as confident, independent, and talented, and Sabrina as following their role model” (ref). cultural definition
