    In the books she does stay in Oz and obtains magical keys and shit. The movie ended up being an “Adventure’s over, girls, go back home where you’re safe and sound” propaganda during the time that some people thought women were no longer needed in the workforce.

    Honestly pretty insulting to flip the narrative like they did.

        Oh wow 1939, yeah. It’s still a pretty stark contrast to the original story, though, so I think if I remove the part about end of WWII then it should be fine.
