Why did the anasazi build the kivas?
Kivas were religious structures built into the ground with a particular astronomic orientation. Different kivas were used at various times of the year for different ceremonies. (Nearly every Anasazi ruin has at least one kiva present somewhere in the complex.) Each kiva had its own group of participants and it was the job of each member of that kiva to participate fully in their own parts of the ceremony so that the entire ritual could be completed properly.
Why weren't the women of Anasazi allowed into their kivas?
We don't know that. We have no information about who went in the kivas. In modern Pueblo kivas women are allowed as visitors but not to perfom.
