Reply to comment by jupitaur9 in The States of WY, UT, MT, CO and ID all gave women the right to vote 20 years before the 19th amendment. This meant women in those states could vote for U.S. President in 1892, but women in most other states could not. Montana even sent a woman to Congress before most U.S. women could vote. by triviafrenzy

Sorry, I was being pithy, but obviously political decisions have as many reasons as people that support those decisions. I'm sure including women would increase the representatives in the House, even if they are a minority within your population.
