"hard fight" for women to win their right to vote?

The author support the claim that is it was Hard fight for women to win their right to vote because women were not considered  as the worker who are equal to the men.

Explanation:

They were considered as the homemade  and their duties were to be a children and to look after families they were not right to vote and to hold political office save their work was only to be our children and look after them.

The men have the each and every rights to do out of the box , but the woman are adopted themselves to the family and society situation and make the better environment for their children. Women know who will make the better society , they judge themselves . So the right to vote is necessary for the women.
