I've been thinking about this lately, and certain things just can't be coïncidence.
A brief history (starting from around 1850, since before then they were silenced):
1848: The first women's right convention in the US. After this, meetings are regularly held.
1855: Prominent suffragists Lucy Stone and Henry Blackwell marry and eliminate the vow of obedience from the ceremony. They protest against unfair marriage laws.
1861-1865: The American Civil War diverts suffragette activity to "war work". The War served as a "training ground", as women gain important organizational and occupational skills they will later use in postbellum organizational activity.
1866: The American Equal Rights Association is founded.
1868: The Revolution is first published, a weekly newspaper devoted to suffrage and other progressive causes.
1878: The first International Women's Rights Congress is held in Paris, France.
1890: Hull House is founded, a settlement house project. Within a year there are more than a hundred settlement houses throughout the USA, largely operated by women. The Progressive campaign of which the project was part propelled thousands of women into lifetime careers in social work.
1896: The National Association of Colored Women is founded.
1911: The National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage is founded.
1912: Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party adopts a woman suffrage plank.
1918-1920: World War I and its aftermath slows down suffragette campaigns. In the long run, it proves a prudent decision as it adds a reason to why women deserve to vote.
1920: Women are allowed to vote.
1941: Goverment campaigns persuade women to take jobs during the war. Seven million women become "Rosie the Riveters", 400,000 join the military.
1960: Birth control pills are ratified.
1963-1972: Equal acts organisations are founded, demanding equal pay for equal work, outlawing sexual discrimination in education, etc.
1973: Abortion legalised.
1973 and on: Women gain some high functions in office, etc.

After this big load of facts, let's look at some historical events in that time.
Abraham Lincoln wins the elections, the American Civil War erupts, two World Wars, The Wall Street Crash, terrorist uprisings, the gap between rich and poor getting increasingly greater, global warming, the Cold War, and probably lots more that I can't think of right now.
The secular person might say: "they're unrelated!", but think about this: having women co-rule creates an impression of weakness. This weakness, visible by countries that do rightfully suppress women, invites them to suppress us in turn! This is most visible in the case of terrorism, those muslims must think we're pansies.
Furthermore, stocks crashing etc. can also be attributed to this, as people lose confidence in their economy.
(My apologies for the hasty typing in the last part, but I'm in a hurry, which is also why I couldn't create a nice list of historical events either, feel free to edit)
I hope this proves to secular people how women are, as already stated in the Bible, the root of all evil.
