Yes! I’m writing about this as well. I agree that Gage and Stanton were huge influences! Frances Willard too. It’s a fascinating time period and so much fun to try and decode. Oz nerds unite!

I had no clue he had such powerful minds around him. You need to make this a series, I love it.

I am writing a historical fiction that features some very powerful women in the 1800s. Stay tuned, once I have enough folks here to announce its release, I will.

Again, another powerful, intriguing, and important piece of research. I always knew The Wizard of Oz was a political polemic rather than a nice story made into a wonderful film, but I had no idea about all this background you have shared with us. Phenomenal! Thank you.
