"It means looking intelligently through and beyond the romanticisation and near-idolisation visited on the Perons from some quarters down the decades. They were hardly paragons."

Well, as tempting as it may be, it's more fruitful, but less entertaining, to seek grounded evidence of each individual and their symbiotic relationship, versus less-grounded gossip, slanted viewpoints, or slurs. That is where a high standard of evidence exists..

I recall few Argentinian , or latin American paragons-most seem to have flaws. But, a few were linked with positive change for their countrymen, often in a challenging governing climate. Though not free of flaws, and facing significant opposition, Eva made a few changes in her short life, while enjoying public exposure and lifes rewards. A controversial figure, she is remembered both passionately and less so, by other folks- like the OP poster.

For whatever reason, IMO, she made the right choice championing the poor and promoting women's rights- versus the powerful wealthy and military elites. You pay a price for doing that in many countries. If she screwed every guy, or gal,in the country while doing that seems unimportant to me.
