Because only Cardinals are allowed to vote in the Vatican. Since the Catholic church only allows men to have leadership positions (and this includes Cardinals) women have no voting rights in the Vatican. If the church ever decided to allow women to hold leadership positions, female Cardinals could vote, but this is not likely to happen any time soon.
