Born in Coyoacán, she survived a severe bus accident at 18 that left her with lifelong pain and long periods of immobilisation. During her recovery she began painting intensively, developing a striking visual language that blended personal suffering, Mexican folk traditions and surreal, dreamlike imagery. Kahlo’s work explored identity, the female body, politics and resilience, often using herself as subject and symbol. Today, Kahlo stands as an icon of artistic courage, Mexican cultural pride and the transformative power of creativity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSeptember (imprint of Duckworth)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJuly 2026\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e192 pages\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e978-0715657058\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e258 g\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rudolf Steiner Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58546256511360,"sku":"9780715657058","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3281\/8754\/files\/WingstoFly.jpg?v=1785160474","url":"https:\/\/rudolfsteinerbookshop.co.uk\/products\/wings-to-fly","provider":"Rudolf Steiner Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
