“;It is time for the woman who thinks, judges, rejects or accepts and has passed away the time for the woman who assists, tied and helpless, the capricious political development of the fate of her country”. María Eva Duarte de Perón            

Using Evita’s own Words, I convey my warmest greetings, on her Day, to all working women who have made equality and dignity of the role of women in the workplace, a cause of unwavering struggle. A struggle supported by the creative force of the feminine spirit, for which there are no challenges so important that cannot be reached or goals so far that cannot be achieved.
