Description: | This photograph is a profile of Attia Hosain taken at the time of her 'nikah' ceremony (religious wedding ceremony) in 1933. The ceremony took place the day before Attia Hosain's final exams for entrance to Lucknow University. Her teacher took Hosain back to her own college rooms so that she could study for the exams. Shama Habibullah, Attia Hosain's daughter, remembers her saying that this "distraction" prevented her from gaining her usual first place among Isabella Thoburn Scholars! Attia Hosain was the first ever woman from a 'taluqdari' family to graduate. | Subjects: | Visual materials Literature Black and white photographs Photographs Photograph | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Creator: Unknown Associated Person/Organisation: Hosain, Attia | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=4738... | Go to resource |
