She studied medicine in Calcutta Medical College with a government scholarship for women students. She graduated a gynaecologist and had a successful private practice until 1888 when she was appointed to Lady Dufferin Women’s Hospital. Unsurprisingly, Ganguly faced criticism and censure for her choices from orthodox sections of society and even from teaching staff.
She became the first woman to find a place on the dais at an Indian National Congress session; she also occupied several other important positions, including becoming the first chair of the Transvaal Indian Association, formed in South Africa by Mahatma Gandhi to protest against anti-Indian legislation. Kadambini Ganguly also drew the awe and attention of Florence Nightingale and Annie Besant.
