Once again, Kahlo catches my attention as Udall discusses the public images that these women kept up outside of being artist. For me Kahlo had been painted as this rebellious, free spirit who just broke all the gender norms. While I feel this is still incredibly true, chapter 7 exposed a different side to Kahlo, a much more traditional side. It was interesting to see pictures of her dressed in traditional women's clothing and that she was so madly and deeply in love with her husband. That's not to say there is anything wrong with being in love, I myself am a bit of a hopeless romantic, but it just seemed as though Kahlo willingly placed herself into traditional roles at times as if to appease her husbands masculinity. Then again maybe Kahlo was able to make a discovery of how to function in both capacities although it didn't seem to work out al that well for.
