Is or was discrimination against women ever as bad as slavery?

In some ways, discrimination against women, although not as blatant as slavery, was more extended in American History. Black men could vote (and were elected to Congress) six decades before the first woman in the United States was even allowed to cast a vote.
It's easy to overlook the fact that most of our grandmothers were born before women fought for the right to vote in his country. The United States is incredibly backwards on issues of gender equality.
