The majority of women did NOT want suffrage before the 19th was ratified--can't really blame misogyny for it being so slow to happen.

Also many white suffragettes were outspokenly against non-white women gaining suffrage alongside them, so it's not like the movement itself was untainted by bias (to put it lightly) itself, either.
