As soon as Li Ying looked at the list, she understood: "Most of the women on this list are widows, and two have separated from their husbands."
"Exactly," Cui Wenxiu nodded: "Just like I was back then."
Whether widowed or separated, all are women without husbands. Even if they have maternal homes to rely on, it's still not comparable to earning silver to support themselves.
They are most likely to be persuaded to become female teachers at the academy.
As expected, within a day, three visits were made, and almost all agreed. In a matter of days, meetings with over a dozen families resulted in eight women agreeing to become female teachers.
Li Ying was quite envious: "Our Ye County Women's Academy has only five female teachers so far. Truly, the Capital City is filled with women well-versed in poetry and books."
To establish the women's academy, the most challenging part is finding suitable female teachers. Now, with eight female teachers hired, they can really get started.
