Nahui Olin (b. Mexico City, Mexico, 1893; d. Mexico City, 1978), an artist and writer, used her talent in the 1920s to express her intellect and her sexuality and to break down gender barriers at a time when Mexican women were severely constrained by law and social custom. A painter and photographer who organized her own shows, Olin invaded an artistic realm dominated by men. In allowing herself to be depicted nude by sculptors and photographers, she took charge of her sexuality and made it possible for other women, like Frida Kahlo, to publicly do the same.
