We know that 2 TIm. 1:5 tells us that Timothy was first taught by his grandmother Lois, and his mother Eunice. And there was Priscilla in Acts. And someone else, I can’t remember right now. So there is a record of women teaching men.
Weeellllll, I think it would be a presumption to say that Timothy was “taught” by his mother and grandmother. 2 Tim 1:5 simply says Timothy had the faith which first dwelt in his grandmother and mother. It really doesn’t specifically state that they taught him. Can’t say he was, can’t say he wasn’t.
>> And there was Priscilla in Acts.<<
Acts 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Notice that her husband was with her and the teaching was done privately. That was one I had in mind when in my previous post I mentioned the women assisted the men and didn’t teach in public. As an aside notice the husbands name is listed first. Not sure that’s pertinent, just saying.

You may be thinking of this?
Philippians 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
What we don’t know is in what capacity they “laboured” with him. It doesn’t say they taught and with the abundance of scripture that teaches women should not teach in public one would think they didn’t.
Now, having said all that I truly wonder if “contend for the faith” and other admonishments to Christians exhort etc doesn’t come into play when in forums like this.
My beloved gran was named Lois and she was the one that prayed for me and gave me my first Bible.
I miss her so much, but I am so looking forward to seeing her again!
