Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844-1911), born Mary Gray Phelps, was an American author and an early advocate for both the feminist movement and animal rights. Her work often merged her interests in spiritualism and social reform, leading to stories that challenged the traditional roles of women and critiqued societal norms. Phelps' writing career began in her teens, gaining momentum with the publication of 'The Gates Ajar' (1868), a novel providing comfort to those who had lost loved ones in the Civil War by depicting a liberal version of heaven. This book propelled her into fame and became a series with two sequels. Aside from her pivotal novel, Phelps authored numerous works, including 'A Lost Hero' and 'Doctor Zay,' displaying strong female protagonists and a distinctive narrative style that blended imaginative fervor with moral earnestness. Phelps' literary contributions are lauded for their emotional depth and for pushing against the boundaries of the domestic sphere to which women writers were often relegated. Although some of her sentiments may appear dated to contemporary readers, Phelps' work remains significant in the canon of 19th-century American literature for its pioneering feminist voice and its compassionate plea for social justice.
