Hannelore Lee-Jahnke, "Eleanor Marx, traductrice militante et miroir d'Emma Bovary", in Jean Delisle (ed.), Portraits de traductrices. Ottawa, 2002, pp. 321-368.

Wrote many articles, and translator from French: numerous works, always with the idea of [...] advancing the cause of women or workers and, with the translation of Madame Bovary, of establishing a dialogue with her social circles and passing a message. [..]
That E.M. emulated the novel's protagonist till the bitter end is the tragic reflecion of her complex, sensitive nature. (CR Lee-Jahnke 2002 in Transl.St.Abstr. 6-1 2003 p.49-50)
