\"Elizabeth<\/a>by Mira Dock <\/em>(2000)<\/p>\n

PHELPS ELIZABETH [STUART] (1844-1911). Growing up in Andover, Massachusetts, Elizabeth Phelps was a lifelong resident of New England and had a summer home in Gloucester. She was a staunch feminist who participated in causes that ranged from temperance to conditions of factory workers. Though the main theme in her fifty-seven books is the plight of women, three titles contain connections to the sea. The Story of Avis<\/em> (1877), set on the coast, is about a young artistic woman whose career suffers due to her marriage and who longs to fit her expression to the voice of the sea; the woman’s conflicts are described in rich sea imagery. An Old Maid’s Paradise<\/em> (1879) describes two women who attempt to live independently on the seashore. Jack the Fisherman<\/em> (1887) focuses on an alcoholic fisherman who tries to rise above his lot in life.<\/p>\n
