Mammachi stood out as an independent
and resilient woman despite the fact that she was never supported by her husband, rather she was always downgraded by him. The husband was jealous of the talent of his wife and did not want her to be self-dependent. The reason behind this was that he did not get the desired attention for the discovery of the moth and thus the lack of recognition haunted him. Despite no support from her husband, Mammachi continued with the work with pickles as that kept her busy throughout the year. Thus by keeping herself busy with what she liked, Mammachi stood out as an independent woman.
