Question:Her life and achievements speak for themselves; she had polio and then a terrible accident, but then managed to live a colourful life and find success as a painter.

"Frida Kahlo was ... a woman of exceptional courage and passion whose life, at the age of 18, was transformed forever in a devastating accident. But it was through her accident, and the body casts she wore that kept her in bed for long periods of time, that she became a painter. And because the person she spent the most time with was herself, she painted herself over and over again, depicting her personal pain, her interior torment, and the events of her life, such as the accident, her trip to America, and her experience of miscarriage."
