Tight corsets...women were also very sheltered--they often lived in a little bubble of security and comfort--so anything shocking or disgusting was very disturbing and made them faint.
It was also seen as 'feminine' to faint--women were thought to be delicate and vulnerable--so it might have been a bit psychological...

interesting question.............. it's possibly because the women wore corsets which constricted their breathing.
