Evita! A Legend for the Seventies

As 20th Century woman tentatively pricks the membrane of a chauvinitic world,it is fitting that the most powerful representative of her kind-the almost mythical figure of Eve Peron-should be recalled. Rising from obscurity to fantastic heights of power,influence and adoration-first by feminine exploitationof a relentlessly male dominated Argentinian society,and then by sheer emotive force of leadership,which she truly felt and of which she was robbed by a tragic death at 33-Eva Peron became a legend,a legend for the seventies.
