Yes, man_id_unknown is right, as far as he goes. And there is more. The early suffrage movement was plagued by internal divisions over abolition and over how to include (or exclude) black women.) They were also associated with the temperance movement. Men feared that if women gained enfranchisement, they would outlaw alcohol, which is pretty funny since Prohibition, the 18th amendment, PRECEDED the 19th, granting women's suffrage. Yeah, MEN passed prohibition. Weird, huh?
There were also issues over whether or not it was ladylike to vote or even to participate in public dialogue, especially since much of this was done in pubs. They had the idea of separate spheres. Women's being the home where they supposedly had charge of the domestic economy.

Simple, without women having a right to vote, they had no say in the matter, legally. After the men impower granted them suffrage, their voice became far more effective and significant.

Mostly girdles and corsettes. Very constraining.
