Women’s History Month- Frida Kahlo
March 24, 2015
Frida Kahlo is a 20th century Mexican artist well known for her self-portraits. Her career as a painter started after a car accident which caused severe injuries to the lower body.
Her work shows colorful symbolic images of physical and psychological pain and influences of religions and cultures including indigenous Mexico. “I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality,” said Kahlo.
A feminist and realist, Frida Kahlo brought to life a unique and truly Mexican style of self-expression.

During the movie, she undergoes friendship and bullying problems. But, by the end of the movie, she solves her problems and makes peace with the bullies. “Almost everyone has watched [“Mean Girls”] once, if not a couple times. It is just a go-to when you’re with your girls,” said Debasmita Kanungo, 11.](https://shsleaf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/weissblogmeangirlsphoto-300x424.jpg)
