| Sumario: | The book explores the life and enduring legacy of María Eva Duarte de Perón, commonly known as Evita, a prominent figure in Argentine history. Born in 1919, Evita rose from humble beginnings to become an actress and a significant political figure as the First Lady of Argentina during the presidency of her husband, Juan Domingo Perón. The text delves into her political activism, including her work for women's suffrage, social justice, and worker's rights through the Fundación Eva Perón. It also covers her controversial status in Argentine society, her posthumous honors, and the mythologization of her life, especially following the dramatic events surrounding her embalmed body after her death in 1952. The book is aimed at those interested in Argentine history and the complex socio-political dynamics of the mid-20th century.
