Contributions or correction of facts are welcomed

Flora was a descendent of the Borgias. Gauguin boasted of having this heritage. It would be interesting to have the early history of Flora's family (Trista y Moscoso).

Flora Tristan is also the name of a Peruvian organization "Flora Tristan", which works to protect women in peru today. Shannon Schmitt

Format of text

The text under "The Worker's Union" was "strung-out" on one line, requiring a lot of scrolling to read. I copied and re-typed the text, so it's now legible. I also changed the information from present tense to past tense ("[she] recognises" to "[she] recognized"; "solution is to act" to "solution was to act", etc.) I also changed some of the language to be more objective (last sentence of the 2nd paragraph originally started with "By feeding into the male ego, she opens...").Esaons (talk) 16:37, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Esaons stylistic edits had reverted, I redid them. Removed a statement uncited two years after being tagged. Removed a bit of hyperbole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C48F:5B50:A568:787A:D8D:3D9B (talk) 23:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There was no citation for the quote in the first paragraph, but I've indicated that one is needed.

Can anybody provide quote for the fact that aparently Flora was in fact the daughter of Simon Bolivar? I will come back later if I find the reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darynthe (talk • contribs) 21:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anarchist?

Hi @Grnrchst, where do you see Tristan's connection to anarchism? None is mentioned in the article. It seems most sources are taking her grandson Paul Gauguin's word when he calls her a "socialist-anarchist bluestocking" but the following quote implies that this association is erroneous:

Gaugin's reference to her 'anarchist' socialism is a misnomer as she was never in league with Proudhon, the father of French anarchism.
— Máire Fedelma Cross, The Letter in Flora Tristan's Politics, 1835-1844, p. 3

@Czar: Aside from Gaugin's description of her as an anarchist, which is widely referenced and taken as fact in a number of sources, George Woodcock mentioned her affiliation with the mutualists in Lyon in Anarchism pp. 177-178. --Grnrchst (talk) 11:17, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
