In her autobiography, “The Reason for My Life,” Eva Perón mentions, “To explain my life today, that is what I do, according to what my soul feels, I had to go search, in my early years, my first feelings. [...] that feeling is my indignation in the face of injustice. Ever since I can remember, every injustice makes my soul ache as if something were nailed in it. From every age, I keep the memory of some injustice that has revolted me, tearing me apart deep inside.”Longing for an opportunity, in 1934, at the incredibly youthful age of 15, she left Junín to the nation’s capital of Buenos Aires.

From then on, Eva worked almost continuously.By 1943, Eva was earning five to six thousand pesos a month, making her one of the highest-paid radio actresses of the nation, and she became the co-owner of the radio company.
