Back when men were only allowed to vote, it was common belief (at the time) that women could not and are not as smart as a man was. So, if a woman was allowed to vote, it was thought that she wasn't smart enough to make an educated decision, and is overall too 'stupid' to vote. This is clearly proven wrong today, but it was a common belief that women weren't smart.

DevinUp until 1920, when the 19th amendment allowing women's suffrage went into affect, only men could vote in the US.
In the UK it was up until 1918. But then they had to be over 30 and living in a property with a yearly value of more than £5. In 1928 the age was reduced to 21 in line with men. Now it is 18.
During the old times women were considered delicate and too weak to be in politics and to vote so that's why women were not allowed to vote
