Eva Peron was the wife of Argentine president Juan Peron. He would've been just another Latin American dictator, but Eva gave the regime a strong populist edge, strongly embracing the redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor (though it's debatable how much she really helped the poor rather than herself)

María Eva Duarte de Perón (May 7, 1919 – July 26, 1952) was the second wife of Argentine President Juan Domingo Perón (1895–1974) and the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. She is often referred to by the Spanish language diminutive Evita, which translates into English as "Little Eva".

In 1951, Evita launched a campaign to be allowed to run for the office of Vice-President of Argentina. The nation's military, elite, and Juan Perón himself all opposed and ultimately prevented Evita's candidacy. In 1952, Evita was given the official title of "Spiritual Leader of the Nation".

Though she was never an officially elected political figure, most scholars agree that by her husband's second term in office Eva Perón had come to exercise more power and influence within the government than anyone but her own husband. This power derived from her leadership roles within the Pro-Peronist trade unions, the Eva Perón Foundation, and the Female Peronist Party. Many scholars agree that Evita was the most powerful woman in the history of her nation, and some claim that at the time of her death she was one of the most powerful women on earth

The first answer is pretty good. Eva Peron was a commoner but a great beauty who caught the eye of Juan Peron, a military officer with ambitions to rule Argentina. She was immensely popular with the ordinary people of Argentina and was able to offset some of the bad things that occurred during Peron's military dictatorship. She died young, of cancer I think, and has become mythical character in her country.
