“Women did not have the right to vote until after prohibition was repealed.”
Irrelevant. Women were single-handedly responsible for Prohibition.

18th Amendment(Prohibition) was ratified on January 16, 1919.1920.

Although women did not have universal suffrage, they did have the right to vote in the majority of states, were a big influence on getting temperance laws on the books and supported the passage of Prohibition.
Nineteenth Amendment which gave all Americans women the vote became part of the U.S. Constitution on August 18, 1920.

Prohibition was repealed by the 21st Amendment in December 1933. Women had and still had the right to vote to this day.

Woman got the vote around a year after prohibition was enacted. And that was a big factor in its enactment.

Not entirely true. Women had the right to vote in some states, but that right wasn't protected under the Constitution until passage of the 19th Amendment.

Several States, mostly Western, women had the right to vote before the 18th amendment was ratified in 1919.

The 19th amendment was passed in 1920. It was repealed in 1921.
