题目材料：

Although Elizabeth Stuart Phelps` novel Doctor Zay (1882) dominates critical discussion of Phelps` interest in woman doctors, preceding it were many little-known writings by Phelps. These writings underscored the achievements of already established women doctors, the imperative of medically educating and training women in the face of pernicious resistance, and the medical woman`s symbolic value as an agent of healing in post-Civil War America. An exploration of this largely overlooked early prose demonstrates that Phelps played an instrumental role in legitimizing the American medical woman during a crucial earlier period when the number of women doctors in the United States increased substantially, but the woman doctor remained perhaps the most controversial new presence on the nation`s occupational landscape.

It can be inferred that the author of the passage would be likely to agree with which of the following statements about Phelps` writing?

AWhile Phelps` earlier works did a great deal toward legitimizing the figure of the American woman doctor, her novel Doctor Zay did not.
BCritics have tended to underestimate the impact Phelps` earlier work had in helping to legitimize the figure of the American woman doctor during an important period.
CThe substantial increase in the number of woman doctors in post-Civil War America was a more significant factor than was Phelps` writing in helping to legitimize woman doctors in post-Civil War America.
