MarÃa 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 as simply Eva Perón, or by the Spanish language diminutive Evita, which translates into English as "Little Eva".
Born out of wedlock in rural Argentina in 1919, at age 15 Eva Duarte made her way to the nation's capital of Buenos Aires where she pursued a career as a stage, radio, and film actress. Eva met Colonel Juan Perón in 1944 at a charity event in San Juan, Argentina. The two married in 1945. Eva Perón became involved in Argentine politics in 1946 shortly after Juan Perón's first election as President of Argentina. Over the course of the next six years, Eva Perón became powerful within the Pro-Peronist trade unions. Eventually, she founded the charitable Eva Perón Foundation, and the nation's first large-scale female political party, the Female Peronist Party. In 1951, Eva Perón expressed a desire to be allowed to run for the office of Vice-President of Argentina. In this bid she received great support from the Peronist public, or descamisados. However, opposition from the nation's military and elite, as well as her declining health, ultimately prevented Eva Perón's candidacy. In 1952, shortly before her death, Eva Perón was given the official title of "Spiritual Leader of the Nation". [1] [2] [3]
Various sources and scholars claim that Eva Perón was the most powerful and important woman in the history of her nation [4], while some claim that at the time of her death she was the most powerful woman in Latin America. Some claim that she was one of the most powerful women on earth.

don't cry for me Argentina...
she was a young W H O R E who married an adulterous fascist and became a very powerful woman in a very weak country.
her ambition included a socialist agenda and ridiculous altruism and her actions caused the country to fall into depression and eventually into totalitarian dictatorship.
she meant well but did not understand the basics of finance, law, or human nature - her actions became the catalyst of incredible evil acts by others.
