How the indirect system of voting for president through electors inadvertently helped women gain partial suffrage in several states?

The indirect system of voting for president through electors created opportunities for women's suffrage movements to gain traction by focusing on state-level electoral reforms. As states debated the qualifications for electors and the voting rights of their constituents, women began to advocate for their inclusion in the electoral process. This grassroots activism led some states to adopt measures that expanded voting rights to women, particularly in the context of local elections and electing state electors. Consequently, the focus on electors and state governance provided a platform for women to push for broader suffrage rights, ultimately contributing to the partial suffrage gains they achieved in various states.
