Eligibility Question - Gender Discrimination Citizenship by Descent

Trying to determine if my case qualifies for a gender discrimination claim to German citizenship by descent. My situation looks like this:

Great-great-grandfather born in Germany 1868

Great-great-grandmother born in Germany 1875

Married in Germany 1895

Great-grandfather born in Germany 1896

Immigrated to USA 1904

Great-great-grandfather naturalized in 1911. Great-grandfather was 15 at the time

My understanding is that this forced my great-great-grandmother to naturalize, which under new German laws means I may be eligible for citizenship by descent. Is my understanding correct?
