Maria Eva Peron

María Eva Duarte de Perón was the wife of Argentine President Juan Perón and first lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. She is usually referred to as Eva or Evita.

Perón was born May 7, 1919, in the village of Los Toldos, Argentina, the youngest of five children. Her parents were not married, and her father abandoned the family when Perón was one year old, leaving them in poverty. Perón's legal and societal status as an illegitimate child followed her throughout her life. At age 15, she moved to Buenos Aires to pursue a career as an actress, eventually becoming co-owner of a radio company and one of the highest-paid radio actresses in the country. In 1943, she was one of the founders of the Argentine Radio Syndicate. She married Juan Perón, a colonel and government official, in 1945, and he was elected president of Argentina in 1946. Perón campaigned for her husband, delivering radio speeches and traveling throughout the country with him.

In 1947, Perón met with numerous European dignitaries and heads of state in what was termed the Rainbow Tou

The sounds of weeping reached the street and took the form of interminable lines visible to all the world until the day of Evita's funeral on August 11th. The champagne glasses were raised in private.

Each Argentine knew who Eva Perón was; some, however, based their knowledge on their feelings while others depended on the rational interpretation of facts. Tangible reality began to take the form of myth and those of us who did not share Evita's chronological space in time but wished to know her found that for many years our way was blocked by silence.
