More about the book

Exploring themes of sexuality and gender, this work delves into L. Frank Baum's contributions to children's literature during a transformative era for sexology. Baum's Oz series and other writings feature queer and trans elements, challenging traditional fairy-tale narratives focused on love and marriage. Characters like Ozma, who transitions from boy to girl, and the genderless Chick the Cherub showcase his progressive vision. Through his fantastical storytelling, Baum reimagines gender and sexuality, reflecting a world that celebrates diversity and complexity.
