Description
Two half-sisters raised in a convent, contracting polio, being bullied, being sexually abused, studying to become a doctor, a bus accident leading to nearly-fatal wounds, becoming a painter, becoming a communist, and marrying Diego Rivera. This exhausting list of experiences is just the broad sweeps of the life and times of the world-renowned Frida Kahlo de Rivera. If your students don't already know her through her bright, mysterious self-portraits and paintings, it's time they're astonished by her life details.
