My Walks Around London by Flora Tristan

More about the book

Flora Tristan, an influential 19th-century figure, emerged from a challenging childhood as the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy Peruvian. Despite facing poverty, she dedicated her life to advocating for women's and workers' rights. Her observations during four visits to London inspired her to write a significant book on the era's social and political landscape. After its publication, she sought to organize labor internationally, leading to a tour across France. Tristan's legacy was later revived by her grandson, Paul Gauguin, through his memoirs in 1918.
