Abstract (en)

Argues that the popularity of Kahlo's images of herself and her pain is due to their similarity to literary confession, which inspires the reader to identify with the content; but cautions that the historical location of Kahlo's visual autobiographical confessions in Mexican social conditions must be understood.
