Number 7 - are we saying it was not Eva Peron then? I know her full name was a bit more convoluted than just 'Eva?

Eva was Juan's second wife. The third wife became President after his death according to records. cheers Penny

In 1951, Eva Perón accepted the Peronist nomination for the office of Vice President of Argentina. In this bid, she received great support from the Peronist political base, low-income and working class Argentines who were referred to as descamisados or "shirtless ones". However, opposition from the nation's military and bourgeoisie, coupled with her declining health, ultimately forced her to withdraw her candidacy. In 1952 shortly before her death from cancer at the age of 33, Eva Perón was given the official title of "Spiritual Leader of the Nation" by the Argentine Congress.[1][2][3] Eva Perón was given an official state funeral despite the fact that she was not an elected head of state.

No. 7. Isobel Peron
