By virtue of Law N° 13010, passed on September 23, 1947, the Honorable Argentine
Congress awarded women throughout the country the right to vote. In its first
section, this law stipulates that “Argentine women will have the same political
rights and will be subject to the same duties as those awarded to or imposed on
Argentine men.” Mrs. María Eva Duarte de Perón was highly instrumental in the passing of this law, which implied meeting the expectations of millions of women citizens and put an end to discrimination against women. Thus, she was acknowledged her endeavor.
