The women who stayed in the anchae considered their virtue to be raising healthy and good children as a wise mother and taking care of the house well. Women's housekeeping was an important factor that kept the family going. Women learned from their mother-in-law and played the role as the lady of the house. As a token of recognition, the mother-in-law handed over the keys to gotgan (storeroom), gwe (a box to keep things), and jangnong (closet).
