[rjbnzsca] Suffrage 2nd order cynicism

The standard cynical explanation of why women were granted the right to vote is it was purely means to power by political forces which inherently care nothing about human rights but only political power.  They invoked the standard "you are oppressed; we will make things better" message (or lie) to mobilize political action.

However, if this explanation is true, why wasn't it successful earlier?
