The Women of Oz – our next virtual event

Zoom link for tonight: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85924142247

In recognition of Women’s History Month, we’re heading To Oz! to honor some of its wonderful women of Oz.

We have a recorded interview with Sally Roesch Wagner about Matilda Joslyn Gage, whose personal character and convictions inspired so many of L. Frank Baum’s strong women, and a presentation about Ozma by Oz Club vice president Ryan Bunch. 

Bring your thoughts!  Contemporary Oz author Philip John Lewin (The Witch Queen of Oz, The Master Crafters of Oz, The Spellcasters of Oz, “The Thompson Girls in Oz”) leads a discussion about presenting traditional Oz characters for modern readers — and creating new ones — with an emphasis on women.

We’ll add show-and-tell of your favorite Oz character dolls of Oz women, and ….well, probably something else no one’s suggested yet! 

Join us Saturday March 27 at 7 pm (central daylight savings time). We’d love to see you there.

A link will be added to the top of this public blog once we’ve opened the Zoom room.  For those of you who are Oz Club members, you can find that info ahead of time in our activities section.
