That process happened asynchronically across social strata, paralleling the diffusion of modern gender norms and practices.
The nature of gender norms and its evolution played a key role in the mobilization of women. Under traditional gender norms, female participation was strongly related to marital status. Married women voted at levels similar to men’s. Unmarried women participated much less.
