Celebrating the lives of three legendary Latin American women: Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, Salvadoran peasant activist Rafina Amaya and Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni, Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) had a life marked by physical suffering. She contracted polio at the age of five and her condition was later worsened as the result of a terrible road accident. Her great love was the painter Diego Rivera to whom she dedicated a passionate diary. Her paintings, especially her self-portraits, are noted for their immediacy, frankness and strength. Rufina Amaya (b. 1943) was a thirty eight year old housewife in 1981 when the Salvadoran army swept through the region of Morazon in a campaign to root our guerrillas and their sympathizers. In a shocking turn of events, nearly one thousand peasants were slaughtered, mostly anti-Communist evangelical Christians. Rufina Amaya, whose husband and four children were killed, is the only known survivor of the massacre. Alfonsina Storni (1892-1938) was Argentina s first feminist poet. She lived at a time when women in Argentina were in total subjugation to husbands, fathers, and social convention. She stood alone in seeing through the hypocrisy of social convention. Over her lifetime she produced collections of poetry, novels, journalism and plays. It is a tribute to the passion with which Storni expressed herself, that so many men and women in Latin America today revere her work.
