This company was one of her main focuses during her political career, and she often worked an eight hour day in order to please the citizens in need (Stew, par. 7). Eva believed that her foundation should not be a charity organization, but rather something that was a type of social aid to the poor, to assist them in getting back up on their feet (Stille 79). The foundation also built schools, hospitals, houses, and gave scholarships to students and tools for the working class (Stille 79). Sometimes, when in disastrous situations, other Latin American countries would receive money to assist them in desperate times (World Biography, par. 8). Four years after the Eva Perón Foundation was developed, more than 60 hospitals and 1,000 schools were constructed (Stille 80). At the same time, a small form of a “city” was created for orphaned children to live in (Stille 80). Finally, along with all of this, Eva organized to build a free vacation spot for workers and students to relax when they had time off (Stille 80). The Eva Perón Foundation had many successful projects that benefited the poor, however, many asked where this money was coming from, and some even started rumors about Eva as a person.

This gave the Peróns a huge amount of support, and in 1949, Eva founded the Perónist Women’s Party. This party consisted of women who Eva told to defy the unfairness of voting rights, and to set up Perónist Women’s Party offices all around the country of Argentina (Stille 71). Due to these actions, in the same year of 1949, the women of Argentina were granted the right to vote (DISCovering Biography, 3). In the meantime, Eva Perón also was head of the Women’s Suffrage Association, and created places where women could go and talk about what they wanted as to their rights (DISCovering Biography, 3). In the years to come, specifically in the year of 1951, about four million women voted for the first time in Argentine history. Women also ran for positions in government, and 29 of the candidates were elected to Congress (Stille 71). This was all accomplished by the one and only, Eva Perón. While many people criticized Perón as a “fanatic”, while also commenting that she was far too immature to be in office, she often was honored rather than offended. She believed that being a “fanatic” for the women of the working
