ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS (WARD)
Handwritten sentiment of the author of popular children's and adult
books
Autograph Sentiment signed: "Very truly yours/Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps", 4½x2. This popular author (1844-1911), born Mary Phelps,
adopted her mother's name, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, when her mother died in
1852, and it was as Elizabeth Stuart Phelps that she published her first
book, one of her popular children's stories, in 1864. In 1888 she married
Herbert Dickinson Ward, a journalist 23 years her junior, and they
collaborated on some of her later books. Phelps Ward wrote many children's books
- often dealing with mature subjects like coping with death. She was among the
first to popularize "tomboy" female characters. Her adult novels, beginning
with The Gates Ajar (1868), were also popular. Her books included
feminist and also religious themes. She died in Newton, Massachusetts in 1911.
