Women were not relegated to the 'back' of the nave, but to one side or the other.

All in all, it worked very well that way.

Perhaps someone will correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the Jews practice this tradition at least they did for generations. Perhaps that is why the Catholic Church did the same at one time. Nothing sinister about this IMHO.
