Women Who Rock
Women Who Rock
View groupStarting in the early 1920s, American women began establishing political and social equality and the female musicians across the nation also started holding their own. These women and subsequent generations to follow cleared a path for modern-day female artists. Their achievements proved that ladies no longer have to follow, or even match, their male counterparts. Instead, women can forge a new trail all their own.

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera
View groupFrida Kahlo first met Diego Rivera when she was an art student hoping to get advice on her career from the famous Mexican muralist. Although Rivera was married, a courtship ensued. They wed in 1929 (he was 42, she was 22) much to the disapproval of Frida's parents, who referred to the couple as "the elephant and the dove." With volatile tempers and countless infidelities, the marriage was notoriously tumultuous. The couple divorced in 1939 only to remarry a year later, though the second marriage was just as turbulent as the first. Both have long been recognized as important painters who achieved great international popularity during their lifetimes.
