Flora Tristan
A new edition of an influential biography of the early Victorian socialist feminist writer Flora Tristan. Active in the 1830s and 1840s, Flora Tristan is best known for her book "Workers' Union," an account of the conditions of women and workers in Peru, London, Paris and the provinces of France. Regarded as something of a pariah, she was one of the first women radicals to draw clear connections between the plight of disaffected workers and powerless women. Her version of socialism has been regarded as leading towards Marx. Sandra Dijkstra aims to paint a clear picture of Tristan as a class- and gender-conscious women writer in a transitional historical period, and to demonstrate her influence on Marxism.
Flora Tristan
Flora Tristan is best known as a nineteenth century French social critic and reformer. Her writings can be seen as a precursor to Marxism and Feminism. Flora Tristan: Life Sories by Susan Grogan, investigates the life of Flora Tristan through an exploration of the way she represented herself in her own writings. The author also examines the portrayal of Flora Tristan in paintings and literature. Rather than adopting a chronological approach, the author surveys the personae of Flora Tristan through thematic chapters on her roles as author, socialist, traveller and "Mother of the Workers". She places Flora Tristan in the context of contemporary debates and ideas, adding to our understanding of the times in which Flora Tristan lived. Flora Tristan: Life Stories argues that Flora Tristan's self-representations were attempts to claim a role of authority and significance not open to women in the nineteenth century. This authoritative study also engages with attempts to re-evaluate the writing of biography and to explore the meaning of an individual life in historical context.

Flora Tristan
Etrange destin que celui de Flora Tristan (1803-1844) : celle qui restera dans l'histoire comme la Femme-Messie des Saint-Simoniens, la compagne de lutte des ouvriers, socialiste avant l'heure, est née de l'union d'un aristocrate péruvien et d'une bourgeoise parisienne. Celle qui, avant de mourir d'épuisement à 41 ans, parcourant les routes de France pour y prêcher la cause des travailleurs, fut aussi une beauté voluptueuse, arrachant ce jugement à un contemporain : « C'est la Circé antique, moins la baguette ». Violente, indépendante, capable de tous les excès et de toutes les contradictions, en ce siècle des messies d'un jour que fut le XIX° siècle, Flora Tristan se construi...
