Some of that was based upon the Constitution leaving the pattern, method and

Actually, many women could vote in many states, but not all, at the time
of the 19th amendment.  The constitutional amendment unequivocally
extended the vote to all women.

I used the word "let" on purpose.  I just wanted to see if you were
paying attention.  It's a male thing.
