In the Chicana coming of age, Frida Kahlo embodied the whole notion of culture for Chicana women. She represented all that we valued: courage, activism , personal strength, familia, beauty and artistic creativity. Individually and collectively she became an imagined ancestor we not only wanted, but needed. Her iconic image, her paintings and her struggle as a woman inspired us and moved us forward in our own movimiento.

—Amalia Mesa Bains
