Abstract
I review the beginnings of the field of stellar X-ray astronomy , concentrating on the period immediately preceeding , and immediately following , the launch of the Einstein Observatory. The wealth of data was such that , within the first two years following launch, major discoveries were made by scientists from both the Einstein Observatory PI groups and Einstein Observatory Guest Observers which established stellar X -ray astronomy as a new astronomical discipline : Discovery of early and late-type stars, as well as young protostars , as soft X-ray sources; discovery of the dividing line separating X-ray emitting and X-ray quiet giant and supergiant stars ; and establishment of the solar-stellar connection as a paradigm for understanding X-ray emission from late -type stars.
