Page "Justicialist Party" Paragraph 3

The Justicialist Party was founded in 1947 by Juan and Evita Perón, and superseded the Labor Party on which Perón had been elected a year earlier.

Following the enactment of women's right to vote in 1948, a Peronist Women's Party, led by the First Lady, was also established.

All Peronist entities were banned from elections after 1955, when the Revolución Libertadora overthrew Perón, and civilian governments ' attempt to lift Peronism's ban from legislative and local elections in 1962 and 1965 resulted in military coups.
