Cornelia Sorabji

"…next to home there is no place like Somerville"

"Dear Oxford—no other place can ever be to me what thou art!"

"I am to read law: the desire of my heart is accomplished."

"Sorabji had an ambivalent attitude to British rule: she was wary of transplanting western values to India, but she opposed Mahatma Gandhi’s campaign for Indian self-rule."

"As Vera Brittain explained, Sorabji had chosen: the wrong direction at an important moment in [Indian] history, and [had thus been] repudiated by the currents of her time … which tends to withhold from her the status that is her due."
