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.
