It actually took longer for women to get the vote than blacks. Oddly enough, most of the first states to allow women suffrage rights were rural, conservative states such as Wyoming, Nevada, and Alabama. It actually took quite a bit longer for the "liberal" states to catch up.
Now the battle cry for blacks is that affirmative action only helps white women and has done little to help "minorities", whatever that is.

Do you mean "*****"? Initially, sufragettes wanted the 15th Amendment to apply to women, too, and not just black men.
In the 1960s, women found the men in the Civil Rights Movement to be misogynist (their roles were often limited to "secretary" and "coffee getter"), which in part led to the women's rights movement. Many in the women's rights movements had been very active in the CRM. So, as the person above me wrote, competing agendas definitely impacted the split.

The only thing I can think of is the competition of agendas.
