- The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you
chose to share with us.
Holly
(USA) on Eva Perón
"There's
Evita and there's everyone else!"
Eireann
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Eva Peron is one of the most powerful women in history to date. She
passed legislation to give women the right to vote in Argentina, set up a
foundation which created hospitals, gave poor people a home with working
electricity and water, and gave them money to start a new life. She is the
perfect example from rags to riches. You can't name another person who has accomplished
so much in 33 years."
Sawyer
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because she rocks!"
Michelle
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Eva is my favorite diva because she changed a country she gave them
faith and happiness. Evita is a powerful and amazing woman, she will never be
forgotten."
Aimee
(USA) on Eva Perón
"She stood for her country even though most people in her country did not
like her background. She also stood for those who came from the same background
that she did."
Michelle
(Argentina) on Eva Perón
"I don't know, I love Nick Tuff."
Marvin
(USA) on Eva Perón
"I admire her greatly. She did a lot to help the poor and destitute of
Argentina. I'm also fascinated by her life story and her rise to power. She
was also beautiful, which is rare with political women. She had it all: fame,
fortune, beauty, and adoration. Not to mention hatred in some cases.
Nevertheless she remains an enigma. Viva Evita!"
Rigoberto
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because of everything she did for her country, the way she came all
the way from the bottom to the top was nothing short of amazing."
Marie-France
(France) on Eva Perón
"... because I think she was the only president's wife who cared for her
people. She was one of the people and had known poverty and many bad things. Mrs.
Chirac, Mrs. Bush, Mrs. Caroline of Hannover, etc take her as an example!"
Roberto
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Charisma & concern for the poor."
Sara
(UK) on Eva Perón
"... because she saved a lot of people. I don't like it when people say
such mean things about her. I saw some movies and she was a very nice and
respected woman of her time."
Michelle
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because of how she didn't have the political or family roots that
propelled her to be loved by the country. She was just like the people."
Nadine
(UK) on Eva Perón
"She was one of the strongest most powerful women, and I admire that. She
knew what she wanted, what she believed in - and she was strong enough not to
let anyone stand in her way. One of her biggest fears was to be forgotten -
she even managed to make sure that never happened. Not even over 50 years
later! Long live her memory, she gives me hope and strength by the way she
lived."
Fréderic
(France) on Eva Perón
"I love her for her political commitment, for all that she made for the
happiness of the Argentine people and for her magnificent beauty. Viva Santa
Evita!"
David
(UK) on Eva Perón
"... cos she lead an amazing life!"
Sarah
(UK) on Eva Perón
"One of few dictators that were actually popular due to the personality
rather than voted through fear and misery."
Meg
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because she is rockin'!"
Cossio
(Belgium) on Eva Perón
"She refuses to leave the scene even today."
Belen
(Argentina) on Eva Perón
"... because she forever will be the one. She was very interesting. Evita
was intelligent and so beautiful. She was great!"
Natalie
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Eva is an embodiment of strength, determination, compassion, and
passion. The Argentinean reforms that she brought on made the citizens of lower
classes happier than they had ever been."
Carla
(Australia) on Eva Perón
"She gave hope to many people during the very hard times of Argentina, I
give her credit because she was nothing but a lower class girl who became the
face of Argentina and the face of hope. Viva Evita para siempre!"
Jasmine
(Australia) on Eva Perón
"I really admire her determination and strength."
Kacie
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because I like the musical. No, actually, she's really very cool."
Jeannine
(Canada) on Eva Perón
"She had guts!"
Erin
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Her story - in life and in death - is captivating and she is just a
beautiful woman who cared for the poor and for her husband, and would die for
their cause. That is the kind of thing that should prevail in any woman."
Rebecca
(Canada) on Eva Perón
"She fought their battles, their political wars, she was the strength of
the Argentine people. I am researching my final project for English, a speech
on Eva Perón, and was very happy with the information u provided me."
Christopher
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Eva Perón is the most beautiful, influential, and powerful woman who
has ever lived. She has touched countless lives with the extraordinary acts of
kindness she performed in life, and from the beautiful legacy she left behind
after her tragic death. Evita literally worked herself to death for her people
and did whatever it took to help them. This is why I would definitely cast my vote as Evita being the #1 diva. I put Eva Perón on a pedestal and
admire and respect her more than anyone who has ever lived or will live. She
was a remarkable woman and I love her."
Emily
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Evita is my favorite diva because she was a powerful and independent
woman but still had the compassion and kindness to attract millions of
followers in Argentina. In fact, after reading about her and looking at
photos, she inspired me to get into politics when I'm older (hopefully the US
Congress)."
Joe
(USA) on Eva Perón
"She was the most powerful woman to ever grace this planet!"
Eleni
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because she showed much courage in leading her country- in my
opinion she did more for Argentina than her husband. By all means, she was a
brave, strong, and outstanding diva. She fought cancer bravely, even giving
one last broadcast to her people when she was almost dead from cancer. She
loved the people and was generous to them. She is one of my role models."
Anna
(USA) on Eva Perón
"She was so strong. Her life story is so fascinating."
André
(Portugal) on Eva Perón
"She was a great woman and she did a lot for her people."
Amy
(USA) on Eva Perón
"Eva was a revolutionary. The movie and musical made about her life were
absolutely moving. She was completely devoted to Argentina and its well-being.
Even after her death and still today she is talked about everywhere."
Lauren
(USA) on Eva Perón
"She was extremely supportive of her husband and would have been the
first female vice president if she had not died. No woman to my knowledge has
ever been vice president. Also, she directed her great energy to the most
wonderful causes, mainly to her people. She was a modern day social worker,
reformer and advocate."
Josefien
(Holland) on Eva Perón
"... because she was very good to the poor people in her country
(descamisados)."
Anne
(Canada) on Eva Perón
"She went from nothing to become one of the most talked about women in
the world. I believe she almost single handily changed and shaped a country
and was a confident and brilliant business woman always one step ahead."
Joseph
(USA) on Eva Perón
"When I was much younger and Eva was living, thru my parents love for her
I got exposed to her. Perhaps she will be some day be judged as one of the
greatest ladies of Argentina."
Maique
(Holland) on Eva Perón
"She was the smartest woman in that time in that country."
Fabiola
(Canada) on Eva Perón
"Besides beauty, she had brains, power and guts. She also accomplished a
hell of a lot in Argentina during the 40's & 50's. More so than any other
female political leader in history and in the shortest amount of time."
Natalie
(USA) on Eva Perón
"She proves that even if you come from a poor family you can still rise
and change the world."

name."

society."

past she had lived with."

"She is a great role model to base yourself after in history."
Dalia
(USA) on Eva Perón
"... because not only was she respected and admired, but she has a
musical about her and knew how to stay favorable, despite her wrongdoings. Why
conquer a country, when you can be a saint?"
Jerry
(USA) on Eva Perón
"The clothes, hair, make-up ... can you think of anyone else?"
Amy
(USA) on Eva Perón
"I'm currently performing in a production of the musical 'Evita' and I
have become quite fascinated with her. The mystery surrounding her rise to
fame, power and the adoration of her people is captivating."
Vinni
(USA) on Eva Perón
"I'm doing a report on her for a history class, and that is how I found
your site. I have read much about her and she is a pretty important diva. If
you can please email me some useful information to help me with my report I
would be most grateful. I have to make a timeline of events she did."

Stratton
(USA) on Eva Perón
"She is such an inspiring person in history."
Julius
(Australia) on Eva Perón
"... because in the short time she harnessed her power Eva became an icon
to millions, Madonna of the poor, Santa Evita. Because the passion for her
'Descomisados' and Peron never wavered despite the fact that it stole the very
breath from her body. That to those millions and many besides 48 yrs after her
physical passing she remains 'Our Lady of Hope'."

accomplish" no matter the obstacles.

America, and she represented her people ... she was a diamond!

and she was a diva." Sylvia

one will ever know her properly, know her reasons, and the way she was
