      No question is wrong if asked from the urge to learn. The question might be in the hearts of many. Thanks for asking.
      The question may also be asked in a different manner. Why no women of that time could come up to lead society? Or why does a male-dominated society never accept women as its leader? Why are Moses, Jesus, Prophet Mohammed, Budha, Mahavir Jain, etc are all male?
      The answer lies in the historical context, and not in the ideological Context.
      In a world full of religions, women not only were deprived of equal rights but women were also condemned to abase them. The priesthood had established firm rules to ensure that society always remain male-dominated. There has never been any successful movement of women against male-dominated society in any part of the world, also because no religion has equated women with equal status. There have been only a couple of women names in history who have composed spiritual literature. One of the names is Meera Bai. But Meera bai was a worshipper of the Krishna Avataar in physical form, which is not consistent with the ideology of One Formless Creator as enshrined in Guru Granth Sahib.
      It was in this social background that Guru Nanak Sahib arrived. Guru Nanak Sahib conveyed the message of Ekankaar to mankind that His Command was based on the principle of Nirvaer (without hate), which is universal. Both men and women are equal partners in humanity. But in order to bring the message of equality to the masses, it was important to liberate mankind from the clutches of the priesthood. The society, which Guru Nanak had to revolutionize, was in a dogmatic slumber of religious, economic, and political servitude. In such a situation, the question of why a woman could not become a Guru? This is like as if asking a rickshaw-puller why he could not become an IAS officer or senior bureaucrat. The rickshaw-puller would definitely reply back saying that society denied him equal opportunities to make equal progress.
      On the Baisakhi day of AD 1699, Guru Gobind Singh Ji liberated Sikhs from the priesthood by choosing Five Beloved Ones (Panj Piyare) and created Khalsa by eliminating all the discriminations of male and female. The religious right was handed over to Five Beloved Ones, not to any single person belonging to any particular caste. This not only empowered the oppressed sections of society, but women were also made standing equivalent to the men.
