This article aims to locate the work of Flora Tristan (1803-1844) in the socialist tradition and to identify points of contact and contrast with the so-called utopian socialism. I show how the debates on pauperism and the social issue, so in vogue in the early 19th century, directly dialogued with the denial of women's work outside the domestic environment. Based on the analysis of the book Worker’s Union (1843), I point to the originality of Flora Tristan's thought by developing a more comprehensive view of the definitions of work and the working class. I suggest that the erasure of her ideas in hegemonic narratives about the history of socialism and the labor movement is related, on the one hand, to Tristan's link to the general framework of "utopian socialism" and, on the other hand, to the fact that she has intertwined the emancipation of the working class to the emancipation of women.
