| Summary | "Miss Tweedham's Elogarsn" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel written during the early to mid-20th century. Set on Mars, the story examines themes of power, survival, and the struggle for autonomy within a harsh and oppressive environment. The plot revolves around the interactions between humans and Martians, highlighting a complex relationship characterized by manipulation and rebellion. The narrative follows Miss Tweedham, a schoolteacher from Earth, who arrives on Mars seeking something more from life. She quickly becomes embroiled in the conflict between the local human settlers and the Martian high priest Malovel, who controls crucial resources like water using a mysterious power known as "esse." As tensions escalate, a man named Ed Early, along with Sanderson, the leader of the human settlement, challenges Malovel's authority. The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation where alliances are tested, and sacrifices are made, ultimately leading to a rebellion against Malovel's tyranny. In the end, Miss Tweedham, who seeks her place in this volatile new world, resists her past and decides to stay on Mars, embracing her newfound existence alongside Sanderson as life begins to flourish once more.
