About Isabel Martínez de Perón

  • María Estela Martínez Cartas de Perón (born 4 February 1931), better known as Isabel Martínez de Perón (Spanish pronunciation: [isa'ßel ma?'tines]) or Isabel Perón, served as the 42nd President of Argentina from 1974 to 1976.
  • She was the third wife of President Juan Perón.
  • During her husband's third term as president from 1973 to 1974, Isabel served as both vice president and First Lady.
  • Following her husband's death in office in 1974, Isabel served as president of Argentina from 1 July 1974 to 24 March 1976, at which time the military took over the government and placed her under house arrest for five years, before exiling her to Spain in 1981.
  • She holds the distinction of having been the first woman to have had the title of "President", as opposed to a queen or prime minister. In 2007 an Argentine judge ordered her arrest over the forced disappearance of an activist in February 1976, on the grounds that the disappearance was authorized by her signing of decrees allowing Argentina's armed forces to take action against "subversives".
  • She was arrested near her home in Spain on 12 January 2007.
  • Spanish courts subsequently refused her extradition to Argentina.
