Because Eva Peron is such a recent figure, I recommended books which contextualize the period she and Juan were active. In addition, I looked for articles regarding gender and the sworn virgins as promised, but I only found two articles of interest. I included the full citations below.
Arsovska, Jana. “Understanding a ‘Culture of Violence and Crime’: the Kanun of Lek Dukagjini and the Rise of the Albanian Sexual-Slavery Rackets.” European Journal of Crime, Criminal Law & Criminal Justice 14, no. 2 (May 2006): 161-184
Tarifa, Fatos. “Balkan Societies of “Social Men”: Transcending Gender Boundaries.” Societies Without Borders 2, no. 1 (January 2007): 75-92.
