In this book, Jill Hedges tells the story of a remarkable woman whose glamour, charisma, political influence and controversial nature continue to generate huge amounts interest 60 years after her death. From her poverty-stricken upbringing as an illegitimate child in rural Argentina, Peron made her way to the highest echelons of Argentinean society, via a brief acting career and her relationship with Juan. After their political breakthrough, her charitable work and magnetic personality earned her wide public acclaim and there was national mourning following her death from cancer at the age of just 33. Based on new sources and first-hand interviews, the book will seek to explore the personality and experiences of 'Evita' and the contemporary events that influenced her and were in turn influenced by her. As the first substantive biography of Eva Peron in English, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern Argentinean history and the cult of 'Evita'. 606 $aPoliticians$zArgentina$vBiography 606 $aPresidents' spouses$zArgentina$vBiography 606 $2Biography: historical, political & military 607 $aArgentina$xPolitics and government$y1943- 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aPresidents' spouses 676 $a982/.064/092 700 $aHedges$b Jill$01268534 801 0$bBTCTA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151748703321 996 $aEvita$92983974 997 $aUNINA
