I don't know her too well, but she's had a rough year or so because her husband, who was also President of Argentina, died suddenly in 2010. There are a few articles here that mention her a bit. I would imagine they would be found under the Argentina tag.
I was waiting to see if that was gonna pop up here last night before I went to bed hehe. Hope it all goes well, ¡fuerza Cristina!
And the article's right, it's bizarre how many South American leaders have/had cancer in the past 3 years, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Chávez (Venezuela), Cristina (Argentina), there were all these conspiracy theories about Evo Morales (Bolivia) and in Brazil our last VP died of cancer this year, our current president (Dilma) had cancer 2 years ago and Lula has cancer now. Mujica, watch out, Uruguay is the only Mercosul country that hasn't joined the creepy party :-p. So far the success rate is high, though :).

Being a fashionista, always being immaculately dressed no matter what's going wrong down at the presidential palace...that's a conscious part of her public persona, and she deliberately cultivates it in a way that most women in public life have chosen not to do.
For someone like Hillary CLinton, her fashion sense is an irrelevance. It's something that takes away from a sense of her political intelligence and competence, and beyond the 'professional' dress code it's something Hillary doesn't really like others to focus on, since it makes her noticeably different to the men she's trying to work with and be more competent than. Clothes-horse status would be a distraction.
For CFK...being different to the men is what she wants. Everyone already knows she's got a fine political mind in her own right - when her husband Nestor was president, she was his most trusted advisor in just about everything, and likewise when she became president he was hers. For her, being a clothes-horse is a more of a

I saw the headline earlier but didn't get a chance to read the article. Such good odds of survival!
