Famous more for popular
culture and historical Civil War "Gates" stories, Phelps is receiving
reconsideration as a serious writer of realistic fiction. She has
written about labor conditions and has challenged the notion that
industrialization leads to progress. Her characters, many are women,
suffer and do not reap the rewards of hard work.
