Items related to The Feminism of Flora Tristan
Flora Tristan was a most remarkable woman. Born at the begining of the 19th century, her short life was packed with adventure and achievement. An illegitimate child, she had a disastrous marriage to a husband who tried to kill her. In vain pursuit of her rightful inheritance, she sailed unchaperoned across the perilous Atlantic to Peru. Returning to France, she became a socialist, and feminist, and commited herself to a life of political radicalism. She recognized that until the economic conditions of the poor were alleviated there was little prospect of female emancipation. Her strategy was to establish a union of workers throughout France to press for socialist measures. However, linking the feminist cause to socialism proved to be fraught with difficulty. Flora Tristan found that working class organizations were indifferent, and even hostile, to the idea of female equality. In short, Flora Tristan exemplifies in her life and work, both the history of feminism, in its phases of optimism, realism and dissillusion, and the tensions between feminism and socialism.

From the Back Cover:
This book arose out of a doctoral thesis presented by Maire Cross at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1988. The emphasis of the book is however, rather different form that of the thesis. While the thesis focused essentially upon the relationship between Flora Tristan's feminism and her socialism, the book seeks in addition to explore more fully the elements in Tristan's writings which are not obviously linked to the socialist tradition.
