Autobiography of eva peron
•
In 1987, a document that appeared to be the long-lost deathbed manuscript of Eva Perón was found in a government archive in Buenos Aires. Rumor had it that the manuscript, which is critical of the Argentine church and military, had been suppressed for thirty years after Evita’s death by her husband, Argentine President Juan Perón.
First published in the United States by The New Press in 1996, the book remains a fascinating historical document and memoir at a time when Argentina is back in the headlines and trials of leading officials from the Perón era are underway. Leading Perón scholars disagree about whether Evita wrote every word herself, and Evita: In My Own Words includes an extensive introduction by Perón scholar Joseph A. Page, who weighs all the claims and counterclaims about the document’s authenticity and provides an essential historical framework for Eva Perón’s life.
Evita offers a firsthand glimpse of the woman who left an indelible if controversial mark on Argentina, and, at the time of her death at age thirty-three, was considered one of the most powerful women in the world.

Evita: In My Own Words
In general, I tend to loathe introductions written by someone else. This book, however, is largely introduction, and here is why I recommend you don't skip it: While Eva's portion of the book is tiny, it's powerful, and the controversy that surrounds her dying manuscript comes to live in Page's telling of the life of Eva. I had the same interest as when you go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole, and when I finally got to Eva's telling, short as it was, it meant so much more for the words Page introduced with.
For being a book about Eva's "own words," the content is far less hers and far more about her and her legacy. I thought I was getting a memoir; what I got was a loving biography about a woman who inspired a nation. It isn't the autobiography I sought, but it was a biography I appreciated.
I would recommend this book.
