I always loved the way Baum, in 1900, made Glinda, The Good Witch of the North, a witch who challenged the centuries-old “evil witch” archetype. He was a suffragist, & he made Glinda the Good a brilliant & strong protector over Oz.

“She was there, lifeless and inanimate, thrown across the bed, her head hanging down and her pale and distorted features half covered by her hair."

—from Mary Shelley’s

Some believe The Nightmare by Henri Fuseli, who died in 1825, inspired Mary’s line above.

Henry Fuseli–born 1741–rarely drew the figure from life, basing his art on study of the antique & Michelangelo. He only ever painted two portraits, one being of Mary Wollstonecraft, who pursued him determinedly: "I hate clever women. They are only troublesome".
