- Laura_X abstract "Laura X (formerly Laura Murra; born in St. Louis, Missouri) is the founder and was the director of the Women's History Research Center, in Berkeley, California, which was the first historical archive connected to the feminist movement. She graduated from Vassar College and was an heiress. Laura X founded the Women's History Research Center in 1968 after a University of California, Berkeley professor expressed doubt that there was enough material on women to fill a quarter's course in history. It was also at that time that she changed her last name to X. She declared that, like Malcolm X, "I don't want to have my owner's name, either." By 1970 the Women's History Research Center was widely listed in early feminist publications. The Center put many of the early feminist writings on microfilm, making them available in libraries across the country. In 1978 the Center established the National Clearinghouse on Marital and Date Rape in Berkeley, California, with Laura X as director. In 1979 Laura X led a successful campaign to make marital rape a crime in California. She also acted as a consultant to 45 other state campaigns on date and marital rape, as well as collecting and maintaining documents about the status of exemptions from prosecution in rape laws. In recognition of her achievements, Laura X received a Woman of Achievement award (from Mademoiselle Magazine), a World Congress of Victimology Award for Innovative Programs and Services, and commendations by the American Library Association and then-Surgeon General Everett Koop.The Women's History Research Center eventually closed, and its collections are now held in the women's history archive at the Schlesinger Library, which is part of Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and at other institutions.In September 1999 Laura X published her memoir "Accomplishing the Impossible: an Advocate's Notes from the Successful Campaign to Make Marital and Date Rape a Crime in All 50 U.S. States and Other Countries" in Violence Against Women: An International and Interdisciplinary Journal.".
