In this episode, DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens introduces us to Flora Tristan.
A French-Peruvian writer, socialist activist and feminist theorist, Flora was amongst the first to tie women’s equality to social equality. Her personal life was touched by hardship, scandal, and the nefarious acts of various men. Seeking her own emancipation, she was moved to fight for universal freedom. And though she may not be well-known, Flora’s inspiring ideas live on today, when people stand united against oppression.
Recorded live at Lettrétage by Betty Kapun.
Also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Pocket Casts.
Show notes:
If you want to know more about her, I recommend the collection Flora Tristan – Utopian Feminist, Her Travel Diaries and Personal Crusade, translated by Doris & Paul Beik. Susan Grogan also wrote an academic but insightful book subtitled Life Stories.
