Why This Generation Needs To Know About Anandibai Joshee
13Standing in the twenty-first century, at a time when women are still struggling to get equal rights, it would be terrifying to imagine the life of a girl born in the Brahmanical patriarchal system in the 1800s. But Anandibai Gopalrao Josheeโs incredible story of defiance in the face of patriarchy, and how she went on to become the first female Indian doctor, is one that is relevant even today.
Anandibai was born in Pune in 1865 as Yamuna, to an upper caste Hindu family based in Kalyan (now suburban Mumbai). She was married off to a man named Gopalrao, 17 years her senior when she was nine years of age. Gopalrao rechristened her as Anandibai and insisted on educating her, often resorting to beating her to make her study. But Anandibai was a reluctant child back then.
