Some argued women lacked the expertise or mental capacity to offer a useful opinion about political issues.

Detailed explanation-2: -The women’s suffrage movement made the question of women’s voting rights into an important political issue in the 19th century. The struggle was particularly intense in Great Britain and in the United States, but those countries were not the first to grant women the right to vote, at least not on a national basis.
