 Flora Tristan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Even though Flora Tristan did not live to see 1848, her radical ideas and her personal involvement in French workers' struggles for social justice were a small but significant element in the groundswell of leftist criticism that undermined the legitimacy of the conservative Orleanist regime during the 1840s.
Tristan was heavily influenced by the utopian-socialist thinkers of her day, but she diverged from the Saint-Simonians and the Fourierists in important particulars.
Tristan's sudden death in 1844 cut short her involvement in the social reform movement that culminated in 1848, but her writings and her personal contact with provincial artisans left their mark on subsequent developments.

 washingtonpost.com: Paul Gauguin: An Erotic Life
Fifty years later, in 1894, Flora Tristan's fame as a writer and social reformer had diminished but not disappeared; during her grandson's struggle for artistic recognition, it not only opened many doors for him but gave him something to live up to.
Tristan met him when she was apprenticed in his lithography shop in Paris around 1819, and showed artistic ability herself.
Flora Tristan is often held up as the source of Gauguin's wanderlust and creativity, and there are indeed parallels between the passionate, crusading temperaments of grandmother and grandson.

 Flora Tristan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flora Tristan (born April 7, 1803 in Paris, France - died November 14, 1844 in Bordeaux, France) was a socialist writer and activist.
When her father died before her fifth birthday in 1807, the situation of Flora and her mother changed drastically from the high standards of living they were accustomed to, prompting them in 1832 to go to Arequipa, to claim her paternal inheritance which was in possession of her uncle Pío de Tristán.
Flora Tristan herself authored several works, the best known of which are Peregrinations of a Pariah (1838), Promenades in London (1840), and The Workers' Union (1843).

 The Way to Paradise by Mario Vargas Llosa, reviews, links and opinions, book club reading suggestions
The life of Flora Tristan is a grim and selfless life, where she strives to change the world for the downtrodden worker.
Gauguin and Tristan's lives are worlds apart, but the author succeeds in highlighting their similarities - their almost violent obsession, their willingness to sacrifice everything, including their families, to follow their dream.
Tristan and Gauguin never met in real life; and their stories do not so much coalesce as challenge each other in their descent to ever greater depths of disillusion and misery.

This was Flora Tristan (1803-1844), one of the earliest socialists (Marx used many of her ideas in his 1848 manifesto) and feminists, a woman remembered today, if at all, as the grandmaother of Gaugin.
Flora Tristan came to inspect London from top to bottom and this she did, visiting prisons, brothels, asylums, factories, gin palaces, infant schools, the Irish and Jewish ghettos, Chartist meetings, Ascot races and the House of Parlament (to which she gained entry by dressing as a Turk).
Flora Tristan was a woman of striking personality, a brilliant social critic and a graphic diarist.

 The Way to Paradise - Mario Vargas Llosa
Flora Tristán was also married, and had three children with André Chazal, but she detested her husband (and was repelled by sex) and left him, only to be hounded by him for years to come.
Flora Tristán even went to her family in Peru, hoping to find escape there, and admitting to "dreams of becoming a prosperous little bourgeoise", but as an illegitimate daughter she has no claim to money from her family, and, in any case, the lifestyle there did not suit her.
The stories of Flora Tristán's manic husband and her struggles to remain independent despite the near-impossibility of doing so as a woman who abandoned her husband, her passage to Peru, her own literary efforts (she wrote several books), and her conversion to a proselytising life are often engrossing.

FRONT ROYAL, VA—“Human Life International will not allow Flora Tristán, a prominent anti-life feminist group in Perú, to brazenly claim it’s not pro-abortion, especially as it attacks Congressman Chávez,” stated Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, the world’s largest pro-life, pro-family apostolate.
According to a 1999 case study in Perú conducted as part of a UNFPA project to measure cash flows for population activities, “One of Flora Tristán’s principal lines of action is the advocacy, IEC and training aimed at the improvement of reproductive health services, [and] safe abortion.
Flora Tristán’s own website promotes legalizing abortion and touts participation in a 1990 meeting in Argentina that resulted in the annual “Day for the Legalization of Abortion” throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Contrary to the romantic ways of such writers as George Sand or Marie d'Agoult, Flora Tristan was not a novelist.
After all, the "women's ignorance, hostility toward their husbands, or brutality toward their children [was] not their fault but that of society."(Moses, 112) As her writings became more published, she saw herself as "the woman messiah," who alone would bring about freedom to women and the working class.
By the early 1840s, Tristan redirected her writing away from simply women issues and moved towards the rights of all working class Parisians.
