Princess Ozma is a fictional character from the Land of Oz, created by American author L. Frank Baum. She appears for the first time in the second Oz book, The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904), and in every Oz book thereafter. [1] She is the rightful ruler of Oz, and Baum indicated that she would reign in the fairyland forever, being immortal.
In The Road to Oz (1909), the Braided Man appears to have made it back to the surface as he was among the guests at Princess Ozma's birthday party.

Women's rights is a primary theme of the book.
