Eva Perón, often referred to as Evita, was an influential Argentine political figure and the wife of President Juan Domingo Perón. Born on May 7, 1919, she rose from humble beginnings to become a prominent advocate for labor rights and women's suffrage in Argentina. Her work helped improve the lives of many impoverished citizens. As the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952, Eva Perón established the Eva Perón Foundation, which provided social welfare programs and assistance to the needy. She became a symbol of hope and empowerment for many, particularly women, and her legacy continues to impact Argentine society today.
