Where does it say that a women marrying a foreigner lost her American citizenship?

That bill doesn't say that. That was simply a common law practice of the time. It may have been codified at some point, but I have not bothered to find it. I believe it is referred to as a fact of law in the Women's citizenship act of 1934, or perhaps the Cable act of 1922, but I don't recall a mention of if or when it was codified. It is certainly referred to as the law by the women who fought to get it repealed during this era. I am not going to spend a lot of time looking for it. Since *I* have already read of it from numerous sources, I don't need convincing. A quick perusal around the internet did not turn up as much as I expected. A year ago I could find many articles on this subject. (I probably have some of them cached among my bookmarks) In any case, I did find this link which refers to American Women losing their citizenship upon marriage to a foreign male.

Your bill still allows split citizenship parents.

How do you figure this?

And can you show that this bill was actually passed into law? Where is the partner Senate Bill?

You really are NOT reading the stuff I am sending you. I believe it says "IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES" at the very top of the bill. As for it being passed into law, I believe that question is answered here.

“but I have not bothered to find it.”

You will have to try a little harder then that - hand waving is not a legal argument.

It allows split citizenship because if an American women married a foreign national, she doesn’t lose her citizenship like the 1907 bill required. Nothing you have posted challenges this.
