American society was going through drastic times of change. The civil rights movement was in full force, and the women’s rights groups were joining together for the same purpose of equality among all.

By contrast, other animal babies are much more self-sufficient. A newborn horse, for example, is able to gallop around when it is only a few minutes old.
