Description
The first Indian woman doctor was Dr. Anandibai Joshi, who was born in the nineteenth century. For Indian women, she unlocked the doors to knowledge. Girls were not only denied access to primary education during that century, but women's education was also seen as a terrible sin. Anandi moved to America and graduated from the "Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania," the first women's medical college in the world, in defiance of unfair traditions and biases. Anandi is admired as a fearless torchbearer and has emerged as an emblem of liberated women. Anjali Kirtane spent years conducting extensive study on Dr. Anandibai Joshi and her era in both India and the United States for this biography. It is an honest and reliable account.Anjali looks at Anandi as a human being and hence feels free to write about Anandi?s faults or limitations. Studying the subject from multiple angles, she has thrown light on the controversial chapters in Anandi?s life. Anjali?s discovery of Anandi?s grave in America, is a very interesting chapter in this research story. Biographies with historical and contextual research require deep exploration into the subject?s environment. This is common to most European and American biographers. Anjali Kirtane has done the similar rigorous research and penetrating analysis one finds in the works published by Oxford-Cambridge or Stanford-Harvard scholars.
