"Revered as much for her fierce spirit as she is for her art, Frida Kahlo stands today as a symbol
... of daring creativity. For decades, Kahlo's paintings have remained timeless, earning her generations of admirers around the globe. But perhaps her greatest work of art was her own life. In What Would Frida Do? Arrianna Davis explores the Latinx and feminist icon's signature style, outspoken politics, passionate love life, and courageous art--even in the face of pain and heartbreak. The book celebrates a woman who loved deeply and live ambitiously, refusing to remain in the shadow of her famous muralist husband, Diego Rivera. Frida overcame obstacles by embracing her ideals, and soon became a legend--one who drank heavily, painted provocatively, and lusted freely, sparking rumors about her relationships with everyone from Leon Trotsky to Josephine Baker. Through sharing these intimate stories, Davis memorably and vividly recounts Frida's life while drawing out the lessons and insights we call use to guide us on our own paths. What Would Frida Do? conjures Frida's brave spirit and encourages women to persevere through pain, create fearlessly, stand by their own truths, and embrace their brightest, boldest selves."--inside jacket.
