What does Glinda represent in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

The emancipated woman in the book and the source ofself-knowledge in both the book and the film is what Glinda represents in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) never spoke or wrote about the meaning, representation or symbolism of any of his book's characters and events. But a well-written literary work invites many interpretations. In this case, Glinda the Good can be seen as representative of emancipated women since the author's wife and mother-in-law were strong women and early suffragettes. Additionally, she can be interpreted as the source of self-knowledge since she gets Dorothy to realize the power of the magic shoes in the book and the importance of home and self-determination in the film.
