This was the Expatriation Act, and it affected women who were married to non-citizens between 1907 and 1922.
It actually had the biggest impact once the Immigration Act of 1924 was implemented, especially since the vast majority of non-citizens were unaware that they needed a special authorization to re-enter the country if they left (think going on vacation). And if they didn't have that authorization, they were denied re-entry and were subjected to the quota system, and since the wife had lost her citizenship, she reverted to her husband's nationality.
