Because the sputnik launch was around the height of the cold war and many thought it was designed to drop bombs on the allies. thus leading to the construction of bomb shelters and a very large market for bomb shelters to help prepare for what many thought was the end.

The change in status for women as they assisted the war effort at home was to play a role in helping them to be able to later on
Ksju [112]
True.

As men left jobs open when they went to fight in the war, women had to take up more positions in the workforce.  When the men came back, they needed their jobs back, and women weren't happy about being pushed back out of/kept from the workplace.  This incited a new sense of unity and purpose among women, and began the fight for gender equality in the workplace(and later on helped fuel the fire for more women's rights campaigns).

Hope this helps! :)
