What political, religious, cultural and social references are embedded in her work? To what extent was Frida committed to these elements, beyond her artistry?

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist who used political, religious, cultural and social references in her works that made her a feminist icon, as she portrayed in her paintings issues not addressed by art at the time, such as the abortion and femicide.

Violence against women was a recurrent theme in Frida's paintings, as a highlight in the work "Unos Cuantos Piquetitos" , which portrays a woman raped in a bed, beside a man who watches her holding a knife.

Therefore, Frida's works portrayed her life and important events in women's lives, in a sexist environment, which was not exposed in the artistic manifestation.
