About Edith Dornwell

Edith Dornwell, in 1885, became the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide's first female graduate - and one of the first in the world - and the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'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.
