Summary

Flora Tristan set sail in poverty and through clandestine travel from France to Peru in 1833 while the Peruvian Clorinda Matto embarked as a fully fledged official envoy to Europe in 1908. The contrasting conditions suggest just how much women’s activism had achieved in those drawn-out decades of the nineteenth century. Matto’s accumulation of sufficient cultural capital to be the official representation of the Education Council of Buenos Aires can be viewed as the fruit of hard and sustained labor done by earlier radical women, like Tristan and others, who had committed their lives to political and social change.
