Who Really Knew the Woman Behind the Icon? with Barbara Mujica
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this captivating episode of Don’t Shrink to Fit, host Claudia Noriega Bernstein sits down with award-winning novelist and historian Barbara Mujica to peel back the labels of "icon" and "legend." We all know the portraits, but do we know the psychological toll of survival? Why did Frida Kahlo’s own sister become her husband’s mistress? How did a Hollywood "Goddess" like Dolores del Rio revolutionize education for the poor in Mexico?
Barbara shares her fascinating process of writing bio-novels, using the voices of those closest to these women—sisters and hairdressers—to find the raw, human truth. This conversation is a deep dive into the importance of female friendship, the trauma of war, and the incredible resilience required to land on your feet when the world is falling apart.
