This book is about a journey. From craddle to death, from the dust bowl to the throne, Eva Peron, born Maria Eva Duarte had to create and recreate herself, time after time, in order to survive and to succeed.
In the 1950s, Eva Peron, First Lady of Argentina and the real power behind and alongside strongman Juan Peron, became a symbol for all women in Latin America and the rest of the world. She was a living proof that women had a leading role to play in the future of society and humanity, a role as important as any man and perhaps more so.
This biography, like no other one about her, follows her life and death as objectively as possible, without attention to unsubstantiated rumors and hearsay, paying close heed to the historical record and to the testimony of direct witnesses.
