Like today, on November 15, for example, Google is honouring Cornelia Sorabji with a doodle. When that didn't happen, Sorabji, refusing to give up, wrote to the National Indian Association requesting for funds to study further. And soon, she was on her way to study at the Oxford University, as the first Indian to study there. Cornelia Sorabji then started petitioning the India Office to provide female legal advisers for women and minors in provincial courts. Over the next 20 years, Cornelia Sorabji helped and fought on behalf of over 600 women and children.
