Until modern ages, in Judeo-Christian communities women were chattel, an item to be owned, not to be equal. In the thought of the men before suffrage "How can a chair vote? How can you let a stapler make a choice?" This was NOT biblical NOR was it right: it was what was accepted. Before 1920 women in the US could not vote, in the U.K., it was 1929.

This is related to what's called "Women's Suffrage" which is the right of women to vote and run for office, and the whole history can be found online if you search for it. To answer your question, in the USA, the nineteenth ammendment, prohibits state or federal sex-based restrictions on voting, and was ratified by sufficient states in 1920.
