Author: Isabel Radford

Isabel Radford is currently a student at the University of Edinburgh studying Geography and Anthropology with a great interest and growing passion for Art History. She has admired Frida Kahlo since learning more about her life when visiting the V&A Exhibition of her work. She has always been fascinated by feminism and feels naturally drawn to powerful women who can also express emotions and empathy, which she believes Kahlo inhabits most admirably.
