STORYLINE:
First lady Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner will take over from husband Nestor Kirchner on December 10 as Argentina's first elected female president after finishing 22 percentage points above her closest rival - also a woman.
Fernandez will be Argentina's second female president; Isabel Peron - who married Juan Peron after Evita's death - was his vice president when he died in 1974, and served for 20 chaotic months before a military coup ousted her.
Following Michelle Bachelet of Chile, she will become the second South American woman to take her country's highest office.
Some analysts predicted that Argentina's First Lady would sweep the female vote and their predictions came true on Sunday night.
Argentinean women interviewed by AP Television in Buenos Aires seemed to like the idea of a woman running the country.
"The fact that she is a women means that she has different ideals and more sensitivity and she looks like a very intelligent woman," said Flor Bernardo.
"Women irruption and the feminisation of politics means new values, new feelings, new sensations in a world which use to be exclusively for men," said sociologist Doris Capurro.
During this election, not only was the favourite candidate a woman, but the person who was eventually to be the runner up was also a woman.
With more than 96 percent of polling places reporting, Fernandez had 45 percent of the vote, compared with 23 percent for former lawmaker Elisa Carrio and 17 percent for former Economy Minister Roberto Lavagna.
Civic Coalition candidate Elisa Carrio said on Monday she was proud of being the new leader of the Argentine opposition.
They have become the second political force in the country.
