Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit
Pandit was the first woman to hold many titles in Indian politics. Being the first ever holder of a cabinet post, she was twice the president of the political party, the Indian National Congress, following India’s independence; she also entered diplomatic service and became the Ambassador of India to Russia, followed by the United States and Mexico as well. She has served as a Governor of Maharashtra for a span of two years in her late 40s.
She was also the first woman to become the president of the United Nations General Assembly. Under the guidance and severe critic of her brother, Jawaharlal Nehru, she accomplished many challenges efficiently. The last title she held was as the Indian representative to the UN Human Rights Commission, after which she retired from her public posts.
