La Mujer (The Lady) Series continues to explore my reflections on feminism and specifically on women of power in Mexico. I selected the women I see EVERYWHERE: Frida Kalo and The Lady of Guadalupe .La Mujer Series was created to honor and consider the position of power Frida Kalo and The Lady of Guadalupe hold in Mexican culture.

I study culture and have taught human relations in a teacher licensure program for the last 17 years. I am American Indian, from the Penobscot tribe in Maine.
