Reviews
'This is an important biography which fully complements other works in the Studies in Labour History series, prompting us to recognize Flora Tristan as a transnational activist whose ideas and published works addressed issues that mattered to feminists and socialists in Britain as well as Europe.'
Joan Allen, Labour History Review
'[In the Footsteps of Flora Tristan] contains such a wealth of research and analysis that Maire Fedelma illuminates, whole areas of socialist, feminist, and labour history. It should shape all future studies on Flora Tristan.'
Andrew Coates, Chartist
'Following an original approach, the book intertwines two biographies... Maire Cross powerfully demonstrates how Puech himself traced the footsteps of Flora Tristan's presence in the memory of the labor movement, how he saved her legacy too.' Isabelle Matamoros, Clio. Femmes, Genre, Histoire (translated from French)
'The story told in Maire Cross's book is a fascinating one... it highlights both the feminism and the socialism of Flora Tristan, and the difficulty of making people accept the fact that these two aspects are inseparable. It makes Jules Puech known. It should, one hopes, contribute to the development of studies on his favourite subjects.' Michele Audin, Modern & Contemporary France
