Flora Tristan: militant journalism in times of revolt

This article, which is the fruit of bibliographic and document research, presents the itinerary of Flora Tristan and her insertion in journalism of her time, at the first half of the 19th century. It identifies various factors of the feminine condition in post-revolutionary French society under transformation and at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the thinking of its most important theoreticians and Tristan's experience in relation to this reality. The central focus of the study is the presentation of a bibliographic biography of Flora Tristan. A commented chronology of her work and texts, published after a trip that she took to Latin America, reveals the utopian-socialist ideas that she defended and her belief in more just forms of social organization in support of women rights and a national workers union. Her literary and militant activities and the strength of her vanguard ideas, guarantee her an important place in the history of feminist thinking.
