I’ve posted a working translation of both sections of Maximilien Buffenoir’s “Feminism in Lyon before 1848.” I had worked up the section on Eugénie Niboyet last June, and finally got a chance to finish up the section on Flora Tristan. Those inclined to chase footnotes in the original French may find some interesting material in the archive of L’Echo de la Fabrique. And those interested in Niboyet’s work can read one poem, “The War,” in French or English translation in the Libertarian Labyrinth archive.
