About this listen

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.

Thought this was an actual book. Instead it was more like a light superficial outline of her life. Listened to entire piece while weeding my allotment.....I do know more about Frida but not much more.

Was expecting more depth..

Frida Khalo is a feminist icon. This book represent some of the least feminist views of this icon I have heard. It starts by saying the author couldn’t understand how Frida had so many lovers as she was so unattractive and ends by suggesting if she waxed her eyebrows she may have made her life easier. In the middle there are some interesting facts about her life however I would not recommend this book at all.

Incredibly un-feminist

Absolutely loved this!! I got this for my best friends birthday because she loves Frida Kahlo! It is so good and I’m glad I got a copy for my self as well. Highly recommend this if your a fan of Frida or like art in general.

Fantastic

Everything about this bio is surprising. So much interesting information was revealed throughout the whole audiobook, it seemed like it lasted for more than 22 minutes because it covered the most important events and tragedies. Examples of his music are also heard. The narrator is one of the best I've heard.
