“It is unwise, unfair, and unjust to force upon a majority of women, a measure which is obnoxious to all their ideals of womanhood, in order that the wishes of a small minority may prevail.”

That was the thing. You voted if you owned property. Yes the property was in the man's name but women DID vote back then. Because you voted as a unit. The property owner and their family casted one vote together. Separating the vote was one of the first steps to separate the family.

And single (usually widowed) land owning women absolutely voted too. They framed it to appear women couldn't vote when the reality is that family just voted together.
