Answer and Explanation:

In these times, there was a overall and set in stone idea that woman were the ones that teach and do all the things men don't want to do, and men do the hard work and get time for themselves.

Girls were taught to become teachers at a young age (after learning all things necessary).

So, because of the social division that happened in the time period the women were in, young and unmarried women were teachers.
