She was a politically-engaged woman

Not only as a teenager, Frida Kahlo developed a strong devotion to fighting for social justice and advancing Mexican culture but also within the Communist Party, in addition to class struggle, she was particularly committed to the emancipation and equality of women. As her health progressively became better in 1928, Frida Kahlo enrolled in the Mexican Communist Party, which is one of the interesting about Frida Kahlo. She decided to contribute since the political climate in her nation was unstable at the time. She granted political sanctuary to Leon Trotsky and his wife, a revolutionary communist, in 1937. Although her health is not good at that time. She has nevertheless been involved in the political movement despite her health challenges. She attended the July 2 protest against the US-backed ouster of Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz. This is her last public appearance.


She had a definite goal in mind: to help the situation of Mexican women. She campaigned for their freedom. She aimed to represent downtrodden women in a patriarchal culture. She rapidly adopted the persona of a "modern woman" and stopped feeling self-conscious about being bisexual. Frida Kahlo publicly promoted her anti-American attitude in her 1932 painting Self Portrait on the Border between Mexico and the United States, which she used to express her political sentiments. Feminists have praised Kahlo's work for what they see to be its uncompromising portrayal of the feminine experience and form, as well as for serving as an international symbol of Mexican national and indigenous traditions.
