According to
http://www.koperlik.de/Kattowitz/quellenkattowitz.html (in German)

you could write to:
Urzad Stanu Cywilnego
ul. Korfantego 14
40-098 Katowice
Poland

They have the following:
Geburts-, Heirats- und Sterberegister: 1874 - 1945
i.e.
Register of births, marriages and deaths 1874 - 1945.

However, I do not know if they would search all the records "for the period
beginning 1915 and ending 1938".

Some general information on "Obtaining Polish Records":
http://www.rootsweb.com/~polwgw/Research.html

In case the woman in question was Jewish this site should be helpful:
http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/index.htm
http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/town/katowice.htm

When searching the database
http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/jriplweb.htm
choose "Prussia" as "Gubernia" and "Katowice" as "Province".
