The main factor was World War I. With men off in Europe fighting, more women had to get jobs out of the home. Also, being exposed to other cultures helped change some men's minds.
People resisted women's suffrage because it was believed that since they were the "weaker sex," they shouldn't be bothered with knowing about politics. It was also said that women would vote the same was as their husbands, so why bother giving them the vote.
