To ask a factory to actually consider the mental and emotional side of their employees was a good thing. I'm sure they had the same type of rules for men - married ones being more reliable, huskier ones stronger than skinny ones, younger ones more adaptable than older, etc... We still go by some of these ideas today. Some of the other ones in the link are a little wild, but you're talking 60 years ago. They're still progressive in comparison with many other cultures' attitudes towards women. At least women were allowed to show their faces. Well, these rules really aren't so terrible.
