Nino Kipiani

A graduate of the law school in Brussels, she was the first female lawyer in the Russian Empire.

As a result of her calls for the liberation of Georgia, in 1907 she was forced to move abroad, living first in Brussels with her father and then in Italy.

She attended the St. Nino private school in Tbilisi, but for unknown reasons was expelled in 1898.

She then studied law in Brussels, becoming the first female lawyer not only in Georgia but in the Russian Empire.

In the early 1900s, she was arrested several times for her involvement in the nationalist movement.
