A Day in Her Apron: After Jinjur successfully took the throne, men were forced to do all the chores women were doing. They were unable to handle the stress of housework, and the women couldn’t stand their cooking. | |

That Thing Is Not My Child!: Subverted; Tip openly recognizes himself as the "creator" of Jack Pumpkinhead, and does his best to look out for him when appropriate. He does feel uncomfortable with Jack's insistence in calling him "father". | |

Menacing Mask | |
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_3e2d68db | comment |
Menacing Mask: Jack Pumpkinhead, the man which Tip builds out of wood and with a pumpkin head to scare Mombi. A face with a huge smile is carved into the head. Later, when Jack is brought to life, he is a melancholic character, and his fixed smile makes him all the more creepy to others. (This example might not strictly be a mask, but is about a fixed expression.) | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Inverted; it's been suggested that, following the great success of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz's stage adaptation, Baum wrote this sequel with one eye on what would look good on stage. The element that's most often singled out is the Army of Revolt, composed of good-looking women whose uniforms are described in detail. Another element that may have been affected by the stage prospects is Tip turning out to really be female, since in a stage production a young boy would be played by a woman anyway. The emphasis on the Tin Man and the Scarecrow at the expense of the Lion and Dorothy reflects which characters had been most successful on stage. (In the event, the stage adaptation that followed a year later was a flop, at least partly because many of the people and elements that had made the first show such a success were unavailable because the show was still running.) | |

Lady Land: Jinjur tries to turn Oz into a Lady Land, forcing men to do all the cooking and housework while women live lives of leisure. Her all-female army is defeated by Glinda the Good’s all-female army, Princess Ozma takes the throne, and from then on the genders are basically equal in Oz. | |

Straw Feminist | |
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: General Jinjur. Note this in contrast to the matriarchal army of the South, composed entirely of women, who came to overthrow her rule of the Emerald City. An army relying on your enemies not hitting girls had some serious drawbacks in retrospect. It is interesting to note that Baum's wife was herself the daughter of a prominent early feminist, Matilda Gage. Jinjur is an obvious poke at the sort of pie in the sky "suffragette" who thought feminism meant "women in charge" while preserving the Double Standard where it suited them. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Jinjur's plan to lead feminist revolts in all the kingdoms ran into the slight snag that one of them was already completely matriarchal, heavily militarized, and good friends with the others. Oops. | |

Random Events Plot | |
The Marvelous Land of Oz / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: Most everything that happens in the story either comes out of nowhere or has virtually no impact on anything that happens afterwards. Perhaps the best example is when the main characters accidentally fly out of Oz, land in a jackdaw nest, use some magical wish-granting pills to fly back to Oz, but forget to take the pills with them. What does this episode add to the story? The world may never know. | |

Amazon Brigade: Both Jinjur's Army of Revolt and the army Glinda makes. Played with in that the former just thought they were; the Emerald City's army wouldn't hit a girl and was less than a match for Dorothy by herself anyway. Even so, the all-female armies in this book are the most effective armies in Baum's Oz books — all the rest are either evil and menacing but are foiled before they do much harm, e.g. the Nome King's army; or are too small to be threatening (these will include exactly one private soldier, but may have a large number of officers who do not fight), e.g. the Army of Oz. Jinjur's and Glinda's armies are the only ones that accomplish the missions they set out to accomplish. | |

Velvet Revolution: General Jinjur's Army of Revolt overtake the Emerald City and force the Scarecrow to abdicate the throne using nothing but sewing needles and relying on the fact that Oz's (single person) army Wouldn't Hit a Girl. A few people get poked with needles but that is the extent of the violence. Later in the story, the armies of Glinda the Good surround the city in a standoff, but Jinjur surrenders without violence, allowing the rightful Princess Ozma to take the throne. | |
