I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day, sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go .
Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.
Suffer little children and come unto me.
The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory.
I am only a sparrow amongst a great flock of sparrows.
I demanded more rights for women because I know what women had to put up with.
