Prohibition was created by an amendment, so no one "voted" for it save the Congress and the state legislatures. However, women were very active in the temperance movement that lead to Prohibition. On the other hand many men lead the charge too.

However, women were very active in the temperance movement that lead to Prohibition. Sgt Molly Yard Carrie Nation WAS the temperance movement. Along with her hatchet, she was an imposing looking woman. Her visage (and hatchet) were enough to frighten the Demon Rum out of any man.
