Eva Peron: Women’s Vote in Argentina

For our Activist History project, we decided to search outside the boundaries of our own nation into the history of Argentina–more specifically, Eva Peron’s activism. Eva Peron was, first and foremost, a feminist activist, but also an actress and a political figure later in her lifetime. Peron, by the maiden name María Eva Ibarguren, founded her own entertainment business 20 years after moving to Buenos Aires at age 15.
