When I first began to look for sources, like most students, my first instinct was to do a generalized Google search of Frida Kahlo. After getting an idea of my research topic, I began looking for research journals as academic research papers on Kahlo, as well as her rise to becoming the face of numerous social movements. Using sites such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, and Ebsco Host, I was able to find a few sources to help me grasp a better understanding of my research topic. We were also required to include at least 1-2 print sources in addition to our web sources. The Dartmouth Library catalogue was a great way for me to help narrow down and find books about Frida. I was able to find three books:

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera by Isabel Alcántara and Sandra Egnolff

Devouring Frida by Margaret A. Lindauer

Frida by Frida- which is a collection of letters written by Frida Kahlo to various recipients

I was also able to use the site Borrow Direct in order to rent the autobiography Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrera, which is the book that truly brought Frida’s life into the spotlight and help propel her into the cult-like figure that she is today.
