The Life Of Dr. Anandabai Joshee

""The Life of Dr. Anandabai Joshee: A Kinswoman of the Pundita Ramabai"" is a biographical account written by Caroline Wells Healey Dall in 1888. The book chronicles the life of Anandabai Joshee, a pioneering Indian woman who became the first female physician from India to receive a degree from an American medical school. The book explores Joshee's early life in India, where she faced discrimination and limited opportunities due to her gender. Despite these challenges, Joshee was determined to pursue an education and eventually became interested in medicine. With the help of influential supporters, including the feminist and social reformer Pundita Ramabai, Joshee was able to travel to America to study medicine at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania. The book provides a detailed account of Joshee's experiences in America, including the challenges she faced as a foreign student and the discrimination she encountered due to her race and gender. Despite these obstacles, Joshee remained committed to her studies and graduated with honors in 1886. The book also explores Joshee's return to India and her efforts to establish a medical practice and promote women's education and empowerment. Sadly, Joshee's life was cut short by tuberculosis in 1887, but her legacy as a trailblazing female physician and social reformer lives on. Overall, ""The Life of Dr. Anandabai Joshee"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied societal expectations and paved the way for future generations of Indian women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
