Female empowerment in 50 stories

In the illustrated book What would Frida Kahlo do? published by Sonzogno, the London authors Elizabeth Foley and Beth Coates propose the teachings drawn from the vicissitudes of female personalities of the past, who had the courage and determination to build their own destiny in times dominated by men. Examples of encouragement that also draw from the world of science, art and culture, of inspiration for those who have problems of assertiveness, doubt their abilities or are victims of a thousand insecurities. The actress Mae West, for example, was a sex symbol who never succumbed to the aesthetic dictates of the time, while the Latin American artist quoted in the volume's title transformed her misfortune into art: she never gave up looking after her appearance and he used clothes to feel stronger and to assert his identity. Without forgetting the Latin American artist cited in the title of the volume transformed his own misfortune into art. Not only. He promoted his own style: he never gave up looking after his appearance and used clothes to feel stronger and to assert his identity.
