In the political history of Spain, Isabel Martínez de Perón is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Isabel Martínez de Perón as first female president of Argentina from 1974 to 1976.
Isabel Martínez de Perón was born at La Rioja in 1931. Her recorded nationality is Spain.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
The record of office reads: Presidency of the Argentine Nation (1974–1976), First Lady of Argentina (1973–1974) and Vice President of Argentina (1973–1974).
Her political affiliation is recorded as Justicialist Party.
What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.
Recognition followed: Order of the Liberator General San Martín, Order of May and Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic (1974).
That the career was made in Spain is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
