EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Cornelia Sorabji proudly dons her graduation hat, marking her achievement as the first female to graduate from a university in Western India in the year 1888. Cornelia Sorabji, an Indian woman of Parsee descent, defied societal norms and broke barriers to pursue her education at the prestigious University of Bombay, now known as the University of Mumbai. Her graduation was a groundbreaking moment in Indian history, paving the way for future generations of women to access higher education. Born in 1866 in Poona, India, Cornelia Sorabji was a trailblazer who challenged the traditional roles expected of women in her society. She was determined to receive a formal education and, despite facing numerous obstacles, including opposition from her family and societal pressure, she persevered. Sorabji's academic excellence earned her a scholarship to study law at the University of Bombay. Her graduation from the university's law faculty was a significant milestone, not just for Sorabji, but for women in India and beyond. The photograph captures the moment of Sorabji's triumph, as she stands tall and confident in her graduation attire. Her graduation hat, adorned with academic regalia, symbolizes her academic achievements and her defiance of societal expectations. The image is a testament to Sorabji's determination, courage, and vision, and serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality in education. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, capturing a moment of great significance in the history of Indian education and women's rights.
