Introduction
The purpose of this research paper is to answer the question, “is/was Frida Kahlo a great leader?” The audience this paper is directed to is my 10th grade English teacher, Mr. Salazar, and anyone that is interested in the subject. This paper took me from the 10th of January until March 1st. There was a total of 12 people involved in writing this, including Mr. Salazar and myself. Frida Kahlo was a big figure in Mexico and the rest of the world. She was an aspiring artist, Diego Rivera’s wife, and was also politically involved. But was Frida Kahlo a great leader?
Methodology
For my sources, I used mostly websites with the exceptions of two magazine articles, and an encyclopedia entry. The websites I used were aaai.si.edu, scribd.com, encyclopedia.com, pbs.org, leadersbeacon.com, biography.com, and nytimes.com. As for the others, I used the magazines “New Moon” & “Smithsonian,” and “The Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia.” The last three online resources that I stated came from my IMRDC packet. The author for the article on leadersbeacon.com is Scott Campbell. The biography.com author is not stated, but they cited their author as biography.com. Hayden Herrera was the listed author for the article on nytimes.com. The first thing I did to find my sources was going to the search engine Google and typing in “Frida Kahlo letters.” That came up with many links, but I only successfully found one that I believed was credible written by Frida herself. The next thing I searched for was “Frida Kahlo diary.” Shockingly, the whole book “The Diary of Frida Kahlo An Intimate Self Portrait” came up and I added it to my list. I searched “Frida Kahlo life story,” with that search I found my final source from pbs.com written by an unstated author. The final thing I did was go to proquestk12.com and searched “Frida Kahlo.” It showed many sources but I weeded out the ones I thought to be the best ones for my paper.
