 Again, you are referring to great power as authority level and material goods ownership.

A Catholic model of family was the model for the plebeians as much as for the royalty. Any family member would seek to be each other's support and the Catholic women, to this day in our contemporaneity, go out of their way for their husbands and children.

What worth is a woman whose authority os used to crush others and fulfill her own degeneracy?

Your view of power is distorted.

A woman in her family taking care of the house has been the greatest and best power all plebeians and royalty women ever held. And only they could and still can do that. 
 Having the vote shouldn’t affect that, or is there a reason you think it does?
