And they can only work with their husband's permission.
As Rhi says, technically they can only leave the house with their husband's (or relevant male relative's) permission. Although denial of such permission is slowly changing.

But it is still a step. Universal female suffrage was only granted in Switzerland in 1972. And as that was the year of my birth I can assure you it was very recent.

A step is a step is a step.
Now we need to wean them off of capital punishment.
