Yes, Glinda is the Good Witch of the South in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz."

In the book, Glinda is not the first witch that Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto meet in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. Instead, it is the nameless, elderly Good Witch of the North. In the beloved 1939 movie version, the position descriptions of the Good Witch of the North and the Good Witch of the South are merged into one. That one person is named Glinda. That one part of Oz land over which she rules is the North. The South goes unmentioned in the movie, just as does Glinda's nameless, good colleague of the book version.
