Why did some women did not exercise their newly won right to vote?

Some women did not exercise their newly won right to vote due to a combination of societal pressures, lack of confidence, and ongoing discrimination. Many faced intimidation or hostility from family and community members who opposed women's suffrage. Additionally, some women were unsure about the political process or felt their voices wouldn't matter in a male-dominated system. Economic constraints and responsibilities at home also limited their ability to participate in elections.
