Elizabeth Stuart Phelps' novel 'A Chariot of Fire' is a compelling exploration of the roles and expectations of women in 19th century America. The story follows the life of a young woman named Elsie, who defies societal norms and pursues a career as a writer, only to face backlash and criticism from those around her. Phelps' writing style is characterized by its introspective and nuanced approach to character development, as well as its commentary on the limitations placed on women during this time period.
