Lots of people are against the difference of Namaz between men and women. They support their claim with the hadith "Pray as you see me pray".
I think it was Albani who first gave the explanation of this hadith to mean both men and women should pray in the same manner.
So before Albani was there anyone who said the manner of salah is same for both men and women?
Where/when did this thing originate?

Actually he wasn't the first to say so, I'm not exactly sure to what extent they (Sheikh Albaani and those who follow him) go to in the salah of a man vs woman, however I do know that the Hanbali Madhab uses this hadith "Pray as you have seen me prayer" to be applicable to men and women, and the only difference between the two is in two issues which come in different ahadith. Those two things are that she gathers her body together in Rukoo and Sujood, and the way she sits. Other than those there is no difference in the Salah of a Man and Woman.
