Women through the centuries have been treated as second class citizens. Traditionally due to gender roles, women have been the ones who stayed at home and took care of the house and children. Since women tended to stay at home, they were less likely to go to meetings. As a result, women traditionally did not vote, as they were not present.
As the modern day came about, women demanded a more active role in the forming of a society. However, due to traditions, eg from The Bible, men discriminated against women. Some men condescendingly considered women unable to make the correct decisions in order to vote. Women have become more integrated into all parts of society, particularly during war-time. As a result women were eventually given the right to vote in most places in the world.
Women didn't always have the right to vote because they were considered objects; lesser than men. Thus, they weren't allowed to vote because they were concluded as ignorant. They also didn't know much about politics. There were trained to, basically, cook, wash, mother, walk, and talk. That's about it.
To some women were considered to be a worker not a voter people felt that they knew nothing about politics. So what they did was keep them in the house as a mom and cook and cleaner
Because of their role in World War 1. When the men were fighting the women took the men's jobs making them more independent.

In 1909, 255 out of 343 MPs had voted to support giving women the vote. However, the proposal failed because Asquith "forgot" to give it time in Parliament. He was replaced by a supporter David Lloyd George in 1916.
