Having doubts about your next step? Ask yourself what artist Frida Kahlo would do in this “beautiful volume . . . sure to inspire” (Boston Globe).

NAMED A BEST GIFT BOOK OF THE YEAR BY: Instyle, Oprah Daily, Business Insider, Esquire, Boston Globe, and Redbook

Revered as much for her fierce spirit as she is for her art, Frida Kahlo stands today as a feminist symbol of daring creativity. Her paintings have earned her admirers around the world, but perhaps her greatest work of art was her own life. What Would Frida Do? celebrates this icon’s signature style, outspoken politics, and boldness in love and art—even in the face of hardship and heartbreak. We see her tumultuous marriage with the famous muralist Diego Rivera and rumored flings with Leon Trotsky and Josephine Baker. In this irresistible read, writer Arianna Davis conjures Frida’s brave spirit, encouraging women to create fearlessly and stand by their own truths.

Review

"A modern take on a woman who was modern beyond her time. Arianna Davis's book paints a colorful picture of the strength, courage, and love that uplifted Frida Kahlo through her many tragedies.

I bought this for my wonderful DIL. Then I read a bit more about Frida’s numerous affairs and wondered if that was a bad idea. She was thrilled to receive it. I just hope I don’t regret it!

I fell in love with this book! I admit, I knew very little about Frida Kahlo when I cracked the spine on this one, but by the last page I had become a bonafide Frida fan — not to mention an Arianna Davis fan! Arianna has a beautiful, colorful writing style that pulls you in. I read the entire book in a day, because I just couldn't put it down. Highly recommend!

Viva la vida! Transcending her creative talent, Frida Kahlo has become an enduring symbol for hope, change, revolution, and resilience. Her persona, art, and impact are seemingly omnipresent, yet remain undiluted in their ubiquity. In What Would Frida Do? A Guide To Living Boldly, author Arianna Davis channels Frida’s words and personal history for a kind of badass life coach meets BFF effect that delivers more thoughtful and useful advice than many more scholarly personal development books I’ve read. On subjects ranging from Love and Heartbreak to Creativity and Identity, readers are treated to snippets of Frida’s life turned life lessons. Uninhibited and unaffected in reality, Frida’s imagined counsel urges us follow our hearts and write our own stories with an almost contradictory pragmatism. For Frida, life was both her canvas and her most vibrant work of all – and she’d want us to live accordingly. Davis imagines her saying, “Just live your damn life, cuate – every second of it.” Sound advice, indeed.

I received a digital pre-publication copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review – and loved it so much that I purchased a physical copy for a dear friend who is a lifelong Frida fan.

After pausing to gaze in awe at this beautiful book, I opened up the first page, and then the next and then the next, mesmerized by Frida's life and the way Arianna paints a picture with her words about all that is Frida Kahlo. We can glean countless lessons from each chapter, no matter where we are in life. If I ever need a little guidance, I'll simply open up this book to find the answers.
