About Edith Dornwell
Edith Dornwell, in 1885, became the University of Adelaide's first female graduate - and one of the first in the world - and the University's first science graduate.
A truly remarkable pioneer, Edith Dornwell was not only ahead of her male peers in achieving this milestone, but she gained her degree with high honours, the culmination of a distinguished academic record.
