By the time of her death in 1952 at the age of 33, the charismatic Argentine first lady Eva Peron had become the spiritual leader of a nation, a figure whose dramatic life inspired devotion, callous rumours, and fierce political debate. In spite of her position, Eva devoted her life to fighting for the rights of the descamisados, the poor and working class people of Argentina, with whom she felt deep empathy. This book seeks to chronicle the public and private life of Eva Peron, from her childhood in a poor provincial village to her early career as an actress in Buenos Aires, her marriage to future Argentine president Juan Peron, her critical role in politics, and her notorious funeral, when for days the crowds waited to view her body at the Ministry of Labour.
