Female Peronist Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Female Peronist Party was the women's branch of the Peronist Justicialist Party of Argentina. It was founded by Eva Peron in the late 1940s. At the time of the party's founding, women were largely absent from the political process in Argentina and were not allowed to vote.
In the first elections in which women could run for office, 22 were elected to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, all Peronists. Following the death of Eva Perón, Delia Parodi, one of those deputies, led the party until the military coup of 1955.
