Today our discussion of the Populist Movement continues with an analysis of the allegory The Wizard of Oz. Written by Lyman Frank Baum in the waning days of the populist movement in 1900, the story is both a children's story and an allegory representing Populism and the issues surrounding farmers in late 19th century America.
Reminder: Gilded Age Quiz #2 -- Friday!
