Conditions/Stipulations[edit]

I've changed some of the stipulations that Raman gave her to more closely align with what's actually described in the linked sources. For example, I cannot find any evidence that one of the conditions was that she "be known throughout the campus after she succeed[ed at] her work". Nor did I find any evidence that working late at night was a condition. If there is some evidence of either of these points, obviously feel free to replace it.

Given name throughout the article?[edit]

Hello,

is it common and in good style to predominantly use the given name of a woman in English-language Wikipedia articles instead of the surname? Kind of sounds off to me - too familiar, too little objectively distanced and somehow "bloggish". On the other hand, I don't know how cases like this one should be handled where the protagonist is largely mentioned before marrying and thereby changing the surname: Switching from maiden name to married name halfway through the article? Confused ...-- marilyn.hanson (talk) 02:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First Indian woman to receive a PhD in a scientific discipline?[edit]

Article says "who in 1939 became the first Indian woman to receive a PhD in a scientific discipline". This need to qualified further in my opinion as I see other Wikipedia article with Indian woman who received PhD with earlier dates. For example Janaki Ammal is said have obtained a PhD in 1931 from University of Michigan. In case of Kamala Sohonie, rephrasing the above mentioned statement as "who in 1939 became the first Indian woman to receive a PhD in a scientific discipline from an institution in India" would be more accurate.
