There was actually a lot of speculation at the time that women would vote differently than men on issues. Indeed, that was one of the major reasons for the 19th Amendment: the belief that omen were somehow more moral than men and would vote to clean up politics. As the elections of the Roaring Twenties demonstrated, though, social, class, economic, and ethnic distinctions proved far stronger than gender in determining voter preference. It's not really until the Sixties that women start voting in patterns different from men of the same background.
