The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments to our constitution. They were introduced in 1789 and adopted in 1791. The Constitution itself was adopted two years earlier in 1787 and began the ratification process then. It replaced the Articles of Confederation.
Either a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress or a national convention can propose an amendment to the Constitution. Article V of the Constitution says, "The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments." (Note: The second method for proposing an amendment has only been used for repeal of the 21st Amendment (Prohibition).)

Women may have felt left out of the Constitution and Bill of Rights because at that time, women did not have the same rights as men. Women could not own a business or property. Women could also not vote, so they had no say in how the laws were written.

Federalist and Anti-Federalist
The bill of rights (the first ten amendments) were all enacted on the same date: Dec 15, 1791. This was only about two and a half years after the constitution itself was ratified, so I'm not sure that "finally" is really appropriate.
There are only two groups that can propose an amendment to the US Constitution. These groups include the state legislatures and congress.
