Though Eva Peron (Evita), is not canonized as a saint by the Catholic church, many still hold her to this divine status. Growing up poor, Evita worked her way to the top and became the First Lady of Argentina when she married Juan Peron in the 1940's who soon became the president. As Admirer's of German and Italian Fascist governments, Juan and Evita built a similar political party and even gave refuge to escaping German Nazi's after World War II, but managed to gain the love of their country through (mostly feigned) charitable work and implementing worker's rights and women's rights to vote.
