 Some of Baum's contacts with suffragists of his day seem to have inspired much of his second Oz story "The Marvelous Land of Oz".In this story, General Jinjur leads the girls and women of Oz in a revolt, armed with knitting needles; they succeed and make the men do the household chores.Jinjur proves to be an incompetent ruler, but a female advocating gender equality is ultimately placed on the throne.
