Where in general were the states located that failed to give women any voting rights before the ratification of the nineteenth amendment?

States that failed to give women any voting rights before the ratification of the 19th Amendment were generally Eastern and Southern states.

I've attached a map from the National Constitution Center which shows where women had voting rights before the 19th Amendment and where they did not.

The states that took the lead in granting women's suffrage (voting rights) were the Western states.  Moving to the West in the US altered traditional expectations of women's roles in a number of ways.  Because of women's expanding roles in the West, they also became much more involved politically in the newly established Western states -- and full voting rights came first to women in Western states.  In 1890, Wyoming became a state--and the first state in the US that allowed women to vote.  The next states to grant women the right to vote were also all Western states:  Colorado in 1893), Utah and Idaho in 1896, Washington in 1910), California in 1911), and Oregon, Kansas, and Arizona in 1912.
