They believed that women should be allowed to vote.

Explanation:

Radical Republicans were a select group of people within the Republican party who did not agree with the concepts adopted by members of the Democratic party, nor with the concepts defended by the conservative and moderate wing of the Republican party.

Radical republicans were called that, because they defended the freedom of slaves, the punishment of confederates, the promotion of civil rights and the right to vote for black people and women, the permission that Jews could do any kind of prayer, without being interrupted and social equality between people regardless of color and gender
