\u201cThere is only one man who can lead any worker\u2019s regime.\u201d\n\nTogether, Eva and Colonel Per\xf3n built a political movement powered by operatic rhetoric. Per\xf3nism promised genuine benefits for the working class, denouncing violence and emphasising ritual and spectacle. Eva embodied the working-class migrant to Buenos Aires that Per\xf3n sought to attract, and she increasingly entered the role of his partner both at home and in government. \n\nOstentatiously flamboyant in her dress sense, how did Evita become a woman of the people who also wore Christian Dior?\n\nListen as Tom and Dominic unpack how Eva became Evita, the most powerful woman in global politics.\n\n_______\n\n*The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.*\nIf you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.\xa0\n\n*The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall*\nTom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history\u2019s greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.\nTickets on sale now at TheRestIsHistory.com\n_______\n\nTwitter:\n@TheRestHistory\n@holland_tom\n@dcsandbrook\nProducer: Theo Young-Smith\nAssistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Anouska Lewis\nEditor: Becki Hills\nExecutive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor\nLearn more about your ad choices.
