The National Endowment for the Arts proclaims the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, as a narration of the main character, Janie Crawford, a girl, “ripening from a vibrant, but voiceless teenage girl into a woman with a finger on the trigger of her own destiny” (Koss).

Knowing the circumstances of Eva Perón’s birth and youth, it seems inconceivable that she would become the unstoppable political firebrand whose memory evokes wails even today.

Juan Perón was a charismatic and inviting ex-military politician. He was the smiling face and sharp brain Argentina had been searching for. His involvement with the labor unions was the reason for his rise to power. Juan Perón’s leadership from 1943 to 1955 greatly affected labor unions in Argentina by granting the unions power in the political world, giving the unions someone they could trust, and by implementing complete control over the unions and the rest of Argentina during his presidency.

story of Eva Peron is a fascinating one . Evita, as she is known, enjoyed a rise to power like no other. The details of this ascension are often disputed, making Santa Evita's tale all the more intriguing. . . Maria Eva Duarte was born on May 7, 1919,1 the fifth and youngest illegitimate child of Juan Duarte and his mistress, Juan Ibarguen. The week of her birth was known as Tragic Week, when the army massacred striking workers, perhaps a foreshadow of what was to come in her life.2 Eva spent her
Eva Perón, the 20th century Cinderella story of Argentina, was one of the most hated, loved and powerful woman of her time. Her rise to power was spectacular and her use of that ruthless power supported her husband’s regime. While some think of her as an angelic woman who sought to uplift women and the poor, others viewed her as a self-serving, egotistical woman who used sex to rise up on Argentina’s social and political ladder, all the while seeking vengeance on the upper class. Because of this

Juan Domingo Perón is known as the greatest Argentinean politician of all time. However, he is also one of he most controversial. His tactics and alliances are often criticized as are the changes and developments he brought about in Argentina.

A rare exception is Eva Duarte Peron. Eva was born into a poor family, and against all odds rose up and became prominent in Argentine politics. Well before becoming First Lady, Eva was passionate about helping the poor. Tragically, her work was cut short when she died young.

In life Evita dedicated her life to aiding the poor, offering opportunities and changes to the lives of so many people that in death, she became a legend.

turned President, Juan Peron. Peron rose to power using populist techniques of the time. He began by building relationships with the working class, talking one on one with the labor leaders and listening to their concerns. This intimate setting made him seem like he truly cared for the working class and unions, not just as a politician, but as a friend (Fraser, 40).
