Ellie, some women voted before the suffragettes and many men did not. Before the 19th century voting was generally based on property ownership (where it was possible at all). There is documentary evidence that women voted alongside men as property owners.
Both men and women only received full enfranchisement quite recently and often not far apart. In the UK, for example, men were fully enfranchised in 1918 and women in 1928.
