Abstract: Abstract The penny press—leaflets, stories, recipes, gazettes, booklets, songbooks—widely disseminated by the Antonio Vanegas Arroyo press in Mexico between 1880 and 1928, constitutes one of the most relevant cultural phenomena in the formation of emotional education in Mexico in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This chapter analyzes the contents of the songbooks in terms of emotional styles of love, sexual encounters, romantic breakups, and heartbreak related to gender roles of men and women from different social classes and ethnic groups in Mexico City’s diverse population. The visual and lyrical narratives analyzed allow us to understand the emotional styles and rules of love relationships at the beginning of Mexico’s period of modernization, which contributed to the stigmatization of social groups by class and ethnicity and perpetuated social asymmetries in the intimate life of men and women.
