El diario de Frida Kahlo es un íntimo autorretrato que refleja los últimos diez años de la vida de la famosa pintora mexicana. Este documento, a veces apasionado, a veces sorprendente, fue custodiado bajo llave durante aproximadamente cuarenta años. El libro incluye una introducción de Carlos Fuentes y un ensayo con comentarios de Sarah M. Lowe. Publicado por Debate y Círculo de Lectores, este diario ofrece una visión profunda de la vida y el arte de Frida Kahlo.

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. Her 1940 self-portrait titled The Dream holds the record for the most expensive work by a female artist ever auctioned, at $54.7 million.
