 | | 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. |
