​In March, we’re featuring an influential woman every day in honor of Women’s History Month.

​Today we’re celebrating:
Frida_Kahlo
Frida Kahlo
Internationally acclaimed Mexican painter (1907 – 1954)

  • Contracted polio at age six, which made her right leg shorter than her left leg.
  • Channeled chronic pain from a bus accident at age 15 into painting while convalescing.
  • Had planned on being a doctor until the bus accident upended her goals.
  • Painted the manifestation of her reality, despite outward categorization as a surrealist.
  • Kahlo’s work explores questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society.

​Frida Kahlo transformed trauma into non-violent power through her use of art in trauma healing, and she's become an increasingly important figure in the art world.
