Frida Kahlo was a feminist she was born and brought up in Mexico, she was interested and deeply into politics, at that time the Mexican revolution was started only, she was an artist and Frida depicted her uniqueness in her painting, the main thing was she always followed her heart and mind she knew what was right for her, she always dressed in a way which was very unique she was wearing suits bandana in hair which very different from what Mexican wears. That’s how she was challenging patriarchy, and she also valued and practice what society said it’s not feminine. So she was in that period where barely feminism battle she was impacting the whole country by keep breaking stereotypes. She created paintings that were depicting the women’s issue she made very thoughtful about miscarriage also about abortion and menstruation. Frida made her eyebrow as a mustache which was very creative no one has done and she carries her very gracefully also Frida never cares about society’s opinions she continued her creativity and expressed her with her talent. She was openly a bisexual woman, she has the affair with both some men and women she never feels ashamed about her sexual preferences. She also helped the LGBTQ community, she was a very revolutionary woman and she used her art as a weapon to address women’s sufferings. We need more women like this in the world. she was very fierce as a woman, a true inspiration for every feminist out there one can learn a lot from her.
