#engineering #inspiration #inspirational A. Lalitha shattered the glass ceiling in 1944, becoming India’s first female engineer after graduating with Honors from the College of Engineering, Guindy. Widowed at just 18 with a four-month-old daughter, she defied the harsh societal expectations of the 1930s to pursue a professional engineering degree. Over a prolific 30-year career, she contributed to massive national projects like the Bhakra Nangal Dam and served as India's sole representative at the first International Conference of Women Engineers in New York. A true pioneer for women in STEM, Lalitha’s legacy remains a beacon of light for every woman striving to break barriers in technical fields today.
