Overview

The ninth title in the Spanish-language Revolucionarixs tells the story of controversial Argentine actress, first lady, and political leader, Evita Perón. The book explores the Evita's role in shaping 20th century Argentina, but doesn't shy away from the cascade of lies and gossip that swirled around her throughout her life. Across its pages, engaging nonfiction text is coupled with colorful illustrations, quotations, and primary source photographs. The volume closes with two activities: one exploring the law and justice; the other encouraging students to examine representations of Evita beyond the book.
