In the biographical reconstruction and in own identity of the Mexican artist are discovered feminism and emancipation outbursts for women’s education. Bloody and creative, life and “the staging” of life of Frida Kahlo testify to an extraordinary source of inspiration for the design of women’s narrative paths.From disobedience to feminism until communist activism, Frida tells with his body an historical and cultural moment and, at the same time, interprets the ability to ‘ resist with love’ to the trauma of life.This paper is an interpretation in a transcultural key of some of his paintings and an exploration of educational meanings.
