Answer 1

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 as simply Eva Perón, or by the affectionate Spanish language diminutive Evita, which literally 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 Buenos Aires, intended to collect funds in support of the victims after an earthquake occurred in the Argentine province of San Juan. 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 political base, low-income Argentines referred to as descamisados or "shirtless ones." 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".

Answer 2

She was basically a huge pop icon and Argentina's version of rags-to-riches. She was born poor and married the future president. During his political career, she was a huge advocate for the poor and repressed in her country. She also died tragically and young. She was very important for very legitimate reasons, and continues to be important for many of the same reasons that Diana still attracts so much hype. She was pretty, famous, and did some good during her all-too-brief life.

Answer 3

It's the same story with Jackie Kennedy Onassis. They were glamorous and married to very likeable presidents.

Answer 4
