About Oleta Kirk Abrams
- Oleta Kirk Abrams, known to many as 'Lee' (June 12, 1927 – January 8, 2005) was one of the three founders of Bay Area Women Against Rape, the first rape crisis center in the U.S., and the first victim-witness advocate for the Alameda County district attorney's office. She became involved after her 15-year-old daughter was raped at her high school.
- Abrams was appalled at the treatment her daughter received both from the school and the hospital to which she was taken.
- Rather than merely protest, she enlisted two friends to found the center.
