Tille-Victorica: Flora Tristan's Plural Identities The influence that Flora Tristan’s writing and militancy for women’s and worker’s rights had in France, and especially in Peru in the twentieth century is undeniable. In the early 1940s, Peruvian poet and political activist Magda Portal wrote a biography of Tristan (1803-1844) in which she acknowledges the Franco-Peruvian author as the “precursor of socialist feminism” (Pratt 156). This honor prompted Emilia Romero to publish, in 1946, the first Spanish translation of Tristan’s famous travel book Pérégrinations d’une paria, first published in France in 1837 (Staedler 229).
