When governments didn't allow women to vote, the governments were oppressors.

is it related just to this situation ? about women's rights?
- Inglês (EUA)
It means a person or thing that prevents someone or something from happening.
You might call a policeman who is preventing a riot an oppressor, or a poster that is covering another poster is an oppressor.
(I think it's more common to use the verb form however: he was oppressed, they were oppressing the crowd, etc.)
