The Woman with the Whip The Woman with the Whip is a 1952 biography of political leader Eva Perón, the late First Lady and Spiritual Leader of the Nation of Argentina. Published in England and the United States shortly after Eva Perón's death, it was the first hostile biography of Eva Perón to be published and, despite the criticism that it is lacking in historical value, has therefore been used by her detractors ever since. This book is thought to be the basis for the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical "Evita". However, the book was never officially credited as such, and Rice incorporated many other historical materials as background.
