They obviously relaxed some of those rules. My grandmother taught, even after her marriage. She was still teaching until her death in 1925. Her son, my dad, also taught, but he was single. I have read that, in that county, there was a teacher shortage every once in a while, so that may be why they had allowed married women to teach. Even after they had children.
