[12][10] The PPF was organized from unidades básicas femeninas ("female basic units") that were formed in neighborhoods and towns, channeling the direct political participation of women in the Peronist movement.

[13] During the economic crisis that hit Argentina during the early 1950s, these basic units offered classes in cooking, specifically meatless cuisine and the domestic economy, and also facilitated discussions on the Second Quinquennial Plan, all of which were done by volunteers and free for the general public.

Similarly, to help in women to save on clothing, these units (along with the Peronist Association of Housewives) later provided free sewing, kitting and embroidery classes.

[18] Following Eva's death in 1952, the party began losing strength and her husband Juan Perón followed her as president of the women's branch.

The divorce law passed, and was hailed as ensuring "the right to happiness in lasting love and a respectable marriage" by Parodi.

In her speeches, Eva often "positioned women as inferior to men and relegated them to their supposed “natural” place in the domestic realm."

After her death, she was glorified by Peronists as a "the strong willed individual woman whose militant anti-oligarchic attitudes endeared her to the masses", and embraced by Revolutionary Peronism and the Montoneros, who became known for slogans such as "If Evita were alive today, she would be a Montonera", and argued that the ultimate goal of Peronism is to bring socialism to Argentina.
