The correct answer is that s<span>ociety believed they were not competent enough to understand certain issues.
Given that women only had to take care of the house and their family at the time (they were not allowed to work yet), it was thought that they didn't have the knowledge necessary to decide on such important matters such as voting. However, that changed in 1920, when the 19th Amendment gave them suffrage rights.
