Role of The First Lady
The first lady is not an elected position, carries no official duties and brings no salary. Nonetheless, she participates in humanitarian and charitable work. Furthermore, many have taken an active role in campaigning for the president with whom they are associated. Eva Perón (1919–1952), First Lady from 1946 until her death, was the most important and influential First Lady, known for her work in many charitable and feminist causes. Before her death, the Argentine Congress named her the "Spiritual Leader of the Nation". Isabel Perón was the first First Lady to become the President of Argentina in 1974. Néstor Kirchner (1950–2010), former Argentine president, was the only First Gentleman of Argentina, married to Cristina Fernández, current president of the country.
