Women were not represented in the Confederation process primarily due to societal norms and legal restrictions of the 19th century that limited their political rights and participation. The prevailing view at the time was that women should focus on domestic roles rather than public governance.

Legally, many countries denied women the right to vote or hold office, often citing their supposed lack of capacity for political decision-making. Socially, prevailing gender norms relegated women to domestic roles, discouraging their participation in public life. This exclusion was reinforced by cultural narratives that portrayed political engagement as a male domain, further entrenching women's marginalization in the political arena.
