Editor's Take:

Eva Perón, known as Evita, rose from poverty to become Argentina's most powerful woman. She was born the illegitimate daughter of a rancher in rural Argentina. At 15 she moved to Buenos Aires to act and became a radio star. She married Colonel Juan Perón, who became president in 1946. She ran a huge charitable foundation and championed workers and the poor. She helped win women the vote in 1947. The rich despised her; the poor adored her. She died of cancer at 33, and the musical Evita made her globally famous.

María Eva Duarte de Perón (Spanish pronunciation:; née Duarte; 7 May 1919 – 26 July 1952), better known as Eva "Evita" Perón, was an Argentine politician, activist, and actress who served as First Lady of Argentina from June 1946 until her death in July 1952, as the wife of Argentine President Juan Perón.
