Episode 83 - Flora Tristan

In this episode, DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens introduces us to Flora Tristan.  A French-Peruvian writer, socialist activist and feminist theorist, Flora was amongst the first to tie women's equality to social equality. Her personal life was touched by hardship, scandal, and the nefarious acts of various men. Seeking her own emancipation, she was moved to fight for universal freedom. And though she may not be well-known, Flora's inspiring ideas live on today, when people stand united against oppression.
