Here's an essay about "Women and Naturalization" that should answer whether she would have derivative citizenship. https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/1998/summer/women-and-naturalization-1.html 
 When did they get married? Was your great grandfather born in the U.S.? If not, when or if did he become naturalized? Do you have his naturalization documents? If you want the research committee to help, her name, birth place and date, etc. would be helpful. Otherwise you will get generic responses.
