| | Flora Tristan |
 | | 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. |
 | | Contrary also to the female authors of the time, Tristan was not a bourgeoisie but was instead, a member of the lower working class. |
