4. TODAY WE WILL LEARN ABOUT AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF Dr. ANANDIBAI GOPAL JOSHI.

5. I was born on 31st March, 1865 as Yamuna Joshi in Kalyan, a small town near Mumbai. My family used to be the landlords in the town, but had lost their riches. When I was 9 years old, I was married and my name was changed to Anandi

6. IN THOSE DAYS HER HUSBAND DIDN’T EVEN SPEAK TO HIS WIFE IN FRONT OF OTHERS.

7. ANANDI GOPAL REACHED AMERICA. Mrs. Carpenter maushi took care of her as if she was her own daughter.

8. The Superintendent and the Secretary of the College were very kind. They were impressed that I had come to study from so far away, braving poverty and opposition from my people. They even offered me a scholarship of $ 600 for the three years .

9. By the end of three years her condition was worsened and she somehow scraped through the final exams. At the time of convocation her husband was present.

10. Her return to India: The journey back home took a further toll on Anandibai’s health as doctors on the ship refused to treat a brown woman. On reaching India, she stayed at her cousin’s place in Pune to receive treatment from a renowned Ayurvedic specialist

11. Finally on February 26th, 1887, frustrated that all her achievements were in vain, Anandibai succumbed to her disease at the age of twenty-two. She was mourned throughout India. Her ashes were sent to Mrs. Carpenter who wanted to place them in her family cemetery in Poughdeepsie

12. Anandibai’s efforts however, were not in vain. To this day, she is an inspiration to Indian girls from all walks of life. She enables us to believe that whatever our situations and circumstances, nobody’s dreams are unachievable and that each of us has the potential to achieve whatever we wish to. Today the Maharashtra government has a Fellowship in her name for young women working on women’s health
