Isabel Peron Research Paper

All they wanted was an answer to one question “Where were their children? Their sons and daughters were “missing” and all they were told was” We don’t have any answers! The citizens were afraid, even high authorities of religious groups turned a blind eye. In 1977, with Argentina under a violent military dictatorship, a group of mostly house wives living in a fear oppressed state made a stand and found their voice. They demanded to be heard and while the regime was enforcing their control and power over Argentinians political views through torture and disappearance; a mother’s devotion to her child and the political resistance transformed these mothers into a political force. They are the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, who effectively mounted a civil rights movement that forced the top military officials to be charged for their crimes and have sustained an

Without these women speaking out in 1977, there would have been no initial protest to halt the military in Argentina. To prove this argument, there is a timeline of events that the “Mothers of Plaza De Mayo” triggered. These events were less likely to have happened without the first public protest (Reinbold. 2010). So far, research includes geography, such as where “Plaza De Mayo” is located and where exactly the military ruled and information on the “disappeared” and how it was very dangerous to speak to anyone who had anything negative to say about the military. I also have learned that the armed forces disliked anyone with liberal values and who seemed like they were a threat to their traditional Christian values (Tolerance. N.a. N.d). What I have little knowledge on is why the Government of Argentina was overthrown in the first place and why the military was so aggressive. It is imperative to know what the military was thinking at the time and why they took such a stance against certain people. What was so important to protect that the military had to

Mystery and controversy shadows Marie Eva Duarte’s whole life ranging from her not actually being a Duarte to whether it was a good thing that in her later life she started Peronism. Known as Eva and then later Evita, was an influential speaker and the First Lady to Juan Perón. Eva helped women and the poor despite her critics, she was a great role model to Argentina and affected many people such as the women, and the poor. During Eva Perón's time, many things were happening in Argentina. The Golden Age, as it was called, was during World War I. During this time, Argentina was neutral and therefore were happy to increase their wealth and exports while the war was being fought. Unfortunately, 1929 brought about an economic crash

Esther Careaga and María Eugenia Bianco, two other founders of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, were also "disappeared". In early 1978, unidentified bodies began to wash up on the beaches south of Buenos Aires. Some of the movement's most prominent supporters have been disappeared but their bodies never found, like French nationalist Leonie Duquet. Duquet and her sister, both French nuns, were taken during the Dirty War. Their disappearance attracted international attention and outrage, with demands for a United Nations investigation of human rights abuses in the country. France demanded information on the sisters, but the Argentine government denied all responsibility for them.

Isabel Perón, in full Isabel Martínez de Perón, née María Estela Martínez Cartas, (born Feb. 4, 1931, La Rioja, Arg.), president of Argentina 1974–76, third wife of President Juan Perón.

Eva Perón, the first lady of Argentina, has been an important icon in popular culture through literature, social media, movies, television, radio shows, etc. The musical Evita, which later became a movie in 1996, enforced certain myths of Eva Perón’s life on how the audience viewed her as a slut, saint, wife, and the First Lady of Argentina. In the article “Wonder woman was Argentine and her real name was Evita” by Marysa Navarro, she defines a myth as a “socially constructed image, a representation that gives additional meaning to historical reality” (Navarro, 133). Since Eva Perón was an important historical figure, these myths were created due to the film Evita and the characters that contributed in developing a certain image of her. In

We can connect this article to Freire’s collective action and the movie we watched this week: “Las Madres del Palza de Mayo”. As a reminder, collective action is activites taken by large groups of diverse people that express their common interests and generate a sense of collective identity. These women in Argentina brought awareness to their situation and they let the government know that they are unhappy with what little they have done. They face a similar situation to las madres during the “Dirty War” in 1976. As mothers las Madres constructed a collective identity, each had either lost a child or had been affected by the disappearance. They too began to become frustrated with the government' action and banned together to find their missing

During the Argentine dictatorship known as the Dirty War (1976-1983), thousands of people were systematically abducted by the government in order to eliminate all opposition to the regime. These "disappearances," which the dictatorship never admitted to committing, happened across class and age lines, but most of the kidnapped were young students and blue-collar workers. Despite the fact that associations and meetings of any kind were forbidden, a group of housewife mothers decided to protest the disappearance of their children. They began to gather every Thursday afternoon at the same time in the main square in Buenos Aires, Plaza de Mayo, walking alone or in pairs

Feminists groups in Argentina tend to criticize the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo for several different reasons. This goes hand-in-hand with the first question referring to traditional and untraditional aspects when it comes to gender. As through a traditional lens, these mothers tend to be more child centric, driven by emotions as they are more compassionate, and focused on the private sphere. Feminists believe that the mothers are attempting to emphasize the self-sacrifice of a women. In reality, they are altering politics through traits demonstrating love, respect, and compassion (Bouvard, 190). Furthermore, they want to create a society involving the “participation of both sexes (Bouvard, 191).” Change is desired to give women a role in

In Argentina, a military coup d’état overthrew the Argentine government in June 1966, thus, beginning the period of military dictatorship by a junta up until 1973. General Juan Carlos Onganía was established as president by the coup, which led to a series of military – appointed presidents and implementations of neo – liberal economic policies. He was the head of the Argentina Revolution and aimed to establish a new and political
