The enactment of law 13,010 in September 1947, which gave women the right to vote, frequently appears as a turning point and a substantial change in the inclusion of women in Argentina’s institutional life. The law had been pushed by Peronism during the electoral campaign and had been a recurrent topic in many of president Juan Domingo Perón’s and his wife’s speeches. It was Eva Perón, ‘Evita’, who specially insisted on the speedy enactment of this law, which became one of her primary objectives.
