 Despite several resistance from the boys who prevented her to attend lectures, Cornelia stood against all odds and successfully completed her BA in 1886. Even after winning a scholarship to study in England, she was initially denied entry because she was a woman. However, a group of aristocratic women that included Florence Nightingale came together and managed her scholarship and she went to England.

But it was Cornelia Sorabji, who was the torchbearer of this trend as she was the first Indian woman to become a successful lawyer. Imagine how difficult it would have been for her to achieve such a feat during the early half of the 20th Century, when patriarchy was the mainstream of the country.
