Frida Kahlo was ahead of her time. She was bisexual and would have fit in perfectly in the time we live in now. Her disabilities would be acceptable in our society of today and her husband, Diego would probably be run out of town by the Real Housewives of “Cheaters”.

Frida came with a lot of baggage in her life starting when she was only six years old and even more baggage piled on when she was in high school. Her suffering was more than anyone can imagine but she kept her head held high and forged her way forward.

Inside you’ll hear about:

  • Frida’s birth and family
  • Frida and Diego begin their life together
  • Diego’s First Fight with Penile Cancer
  • Frida’s lovers
  • Frida was rotten to the core
  • A lifetime of Frida’s creations
  • A medical doctor’s perspective on Frida

And much more!

If Frida had not had a unibrow, waxed her upper lip, and shaved under her arms, she may have appeared more feminine than she did, and it may have given her more self-confidence. She never gave herself a chance because she felt it was her job to be the boy in the family.

I chose this title because I wanted some info on Frida Kahlo and it was an hour or so long. However, after the first 15 minutes, I had to stop listening. I went back for another 15 minutes but couldn't bring myself to finish. The writing is mediocre and juvenile and reads like a list of facts poorly strung together with no coherent story. Speculation runs rampant and much of the "story" includes her family and not her. Please pick a different book.

Like others have said, it's poorly written

This reads like a encyclopedia entry where facts are loosely strung together by chronological and the author comments only in platitudes. It honestly reminds me of a student work and not a scholarly source. I learned some interesting facts but would have preferred something with more depth.

Shallow Biography and Platitudes

This book bounced around which was whatever but the ending all of a sudden suggested atheism had some connection with infidelity and made assumptions about loss of pregnancies so yeah, no gross.

Author starts off the book as sexist as possible, providing a scathing review of Frida and Diego’s personal appearance. The book then goes on to discuss all the rough parts of her life, medical history, etc for about 6 chapters and then discusses her death with several chapters remaining in the book.

The flow is horrible, and any insights you want to gain into the person that was Friday Kahlo are not to be found here.

Awful. Don’t buy this.

I've had this book on my wish list for a long while and I was not disappointed when I finally bought it. Well researched, well written and lots, I mean lots, of photographs of Frida, Rivera and Frida's art. A pleasure.

Good one
