When Hitler took power in Germany, his Nazi party engaged in anti-Semitic propaganda that blamed Germany's problems on Jews. Passing a series of laws, the Nazis forced the Jews from work and persecuted them in many more ways after.
Hitler believed that the job of women was to produce more Aryans for the German Fatherland and to nurture and care for their families. He believed that women working would reduce the chances of that so he forced them out of work too.
The main way in which the structure of the First Amendment supports equal weight of each freedom it guarantees is by including them all in the same clause, which does away with superiority.
