    This article examines the place of the mother-in-law in Sephardic folklore. From proverbs to narratives, to popular songs, the folklore has a singular message: that the kinship relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is poisonous.

    Maggi Salgado Gordon, Isaac Jack Levy et al.ARTICLEHispania1991
