In the biography Frida, Hayden Herrera also spends a chapter on the event that “transformed” Firda’s life and asserts: “Since the accident, pain and strength, became the main topics of her life.” In the award ceremony for the book, Tibol – who arrived in Mexico as Diego Rivera’s secretary in May 1953 - describes the most important facts of the “short, extraordinary, and rich” live of Frida Kahlo and highlights the “serious accident” that took place on September 17, 1925, when the painter was 18 years old, an accident that definitely changed her backbone, pelvis, and matrix.
