First words
So much scandal and so many rumors have circulated the drawing rooms and cafes of Buenos Aires around the name of Maria Eva Duarte de Peron that the story of her life had, before half its natural span run, assumed the cloudy ... (show all)proportions of a myth.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Yet with all the destruction that has been wrought, much that was obsolete in the structure of the past has been demolished; the traditions of woman's inferiority has been flamboyantly challenged, and for this Eva may be remembered long after the poor ghost of Santa Evita has been laid to rest.
