Zulema Maria Eva Menem (Born 25 December 1970) is an Argentinian woman who played the role of First Lady during the presidency of her father Carlos Menem. Menem was born in La Rioja Province and was formerly known as Zulemita.
To avoid confusion with her mother Zulema Fátima Yoma, since both could be called "Zulema Menem", the media refers to her as Zulemita.
Zulemita initially appeared in gossip magazines as the daughter of the President. She began to perform protocol work after her parents divorced. Zulemita accepted the first lady role. She received decorations from the kings of Spain and Sweden.
Zulemita broke her relationship with her father after his marriage to Chilean Cecilia Bolocco. This marriage affected her inheritance due to the subsequent birth of Máximo Saul Menem.
