The stereotypes she broke

1. She challenged gender stereotypes. 2. She was openly bisexual. 3. She painted real women and real experiences.

The standards she sets for herself are her own. Society used to devalue and label as unfeminine and ugly the characteristics it valued. She was therefore a feminist. Frida also dressed in a particular way that was very different from the daily dress of Mexican women at that time.
