Frida Kahlo
Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue
House. She gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows
July 6, 1907. Kahlo had allegedly wanted the year of her birth to coincide with
the year of the beginning of the Mexican revolution so that her life would begin
with the birth of modern Mexico. At the age of six, Frida developed polio, which
caused her right leg to appear much thinner than the other. It was to remain
that way permanently.[6] Her
work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its
uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.[ I choose Frida because she has a nice eyebrow.
