Considering the amount of Queens that ruled over the United Kingdom, why wasn't there more gender equality/women's rights? Did the fact that their monarch was a woman change people's perception of women?

Why didn't Queen Elizabeth or Queen Victoria promote more gender equality? And if yes, how much so? Did nobody end up concluding that since a woman was good enough to be their Queen then women were maybe not the "lesser" sex? How did people deal with the juxtaposition of having a woman as their leader while believing that their daughters/wives were "beneath" them/less smart?
