Description: (Former First Lady of Paraguay)
Eliza Lynch's association with controversy stemmed from her relationship with Francisco Solano López, the president of Paraguay. Initially depicted as an ambitious courtesan who supposedly had a negative influence on López, recent studies have debunked these claims as wartime propaganda. Eliza Lynch is now celebrated as a National Heroine of Paraguay for her role alongside López in political matters during a turbulent period in Paraguayan history.
