Abstract Details

2005, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
This paper on the popular culture images of the witch in the United States focuses on the role of “The Wizard of Oz” in forming those images. Using gender analysis the history of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz will be traced. Comparisons will be made between the images in Baum’s literary and MGM’s film versions of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The changes in the images of the witches will be explored and analyzed. The impact of MGM on the images of the witch in the United States and what that means for women will also be analyzed.
