Pleito de la suegra con su yerno (Fight of the Mother-in-Law With Her Son-in-Law) n.d.

Manuel Manilla's *Pleito de la suegra con su yerno* is a humorous lithograph from the 19th century that showcases the classic Mexican trope of the mother-in-law and son-in-law's conflict. Depicting a scene of a physical fight between the two, the artwork is filled with text, presenting a dialogue between the characters. The text is a satirical poem, likely sung as a corrido or ballad, that criticizes the traditional Mexican family structure and the power struggle between a young man and his domineering mother-in-law. The artwork is currently held at the Art Institute of Chicago.
