Before the 15th Amendment was passed in 1919, women had to rely on men to represent them in the voting booth. Suppose that in a town, half the voting-age public are women and half are men, but only men can vote. On a particular issue of importance to women, 40% of the men are in favor and 60% of the men are opposed.
