While pursuing her PhD at City University of New York, Herrera travelled to Mexico City with friends who encouraged her to attend Frida Kahlo's art show. She returned to schooling and graduated with her Bachelor of Arts from Barnard College in 1964 and her Master's degree from Hunter College. After leaving Radcliffe to pursue painting, she married Harvard University alumni Phillip Herrera in 1961. Growing up in Vermont, she attended North Country School and The Putney School before enrolling at Radcliffe College. Herrera was born on Novem to parents Elizabeth and John Phillips and grandfather William Phillips. Her book Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo was turned into a movie in 2002 and Herrera's biography Arshile Gorky: His Life and Work was named a finalist for the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.
