Question

do you think suffrage was so important to many American women? What were the consequences for women of not gaining the right to vote?

Answer 1

Not every woman hungered for the vote. Some did, but most were likely indifferent. Once they got the vote, they were taken much more seriously and politicians had to campaign to solicit the "female" vote. This is a study all of its own. The greatest slave class throughout history has always been women.
