Married women were not allowed to teach in the 1800's, because married women usually get pregnant at some point in their marriage, and the schoolboards did not want to pay them for maternity leave, or have to find another teacher a such short notice. Also, i think mood swings might have been a part of it, but that's probably just a myth.
