American Evita: Lurleen Wallace

By Janice Law

Book Overview

Governor Lurleen Wallace of Alabama and Evita Peron, First Lady of Argentina, were women in their time, but were not women of their time. Born in the same era, both first ladies-of rural, humble birth, who did not graduate from high school-emerged as charismatic leaders; the trajectories of their high-profile achievements and dramatic life journeys paralleling in astonishing chrysalis patterns, eclipsing the political Suns of the steely-eyed, more educated, men of expediency they married.
