She left school at age sixteen, studied art at Darlington College and then worked at odd jobs.

[87] At the time of her arrest for the bus segregation protest in 1940, she gave her name as "Oliver" to the arresting officers. [88] Murray pursued hormone treatments in the 1940s to correct what she saw as a personal imbalance [37] and even requested abdominal surgery to test if she had "submerged" male sex organs.
