Eva Perón, also known as Evita, was an Argentine actress who became the first lady of Argentina and gained fame for her philanthropic work through the Eva Perón Foundation. She was a strong advocate for the rights of the working class and the poor, and played a crucial role in securing women’s suffrage in Argentina.
