While Juan Perón and Eva Duarte dominate the narrative of mid-century Argentina, a quieter but equally powerful force shaped the movement: Evita’s sister, Alicia Mignacce. This episode explores the complex relationship between the two sisters, the rise of the Female Peronist Party, and the pivotal role women played in securing political power long before universal suffrage was fully realized. We examine Alicia’s strategic maneuvering within the Secretaría de Trabajo, her clash with the military establishment, and how the feminist wing of Peronism both empowered and constrained Argentine women. From the founding of the Partido Feminista Nacional to the tragic end of Evita’s life, we uncover how gender, loyalty, and state power intersected in Buenos Aires during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
