Explanation:

Explanation: The Indian National Congress: The first Session of the Indian National Congress was organized at Bombay in December, 1885. It was presided over by W.C. Bonnerjee and attended by 72 delegates. This was organized at the Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit College in Bombay. In 1890, Kadambini Ganguly, the first woman graduate of the Calcutta University, addressed the Congress Session. This was symbolic of the fact that India‘s struggle for freedom would raise the Indian women from the degraded position to which they had been reduced for past many centuries.
