Stevens founded the Animal Welfare Institute in 1951 and was its president until her death in 2002. Under her leadership, the institute's lobbying efforts led to the successful creation of multiple laws for the protection of animals, including US legislation on animal experimentation, humane slaughter, trapping, and safeguarding endangered species. The interviews are part of the oral histories created by the Animal Rights Network, an activist organization that worked to unite local, national, and international animal rights groups to achieve shared goals.
