Anandibai Gopalrao Joshi MD. was the first woman, who went United States to study medicine and graduated with a 2 years diploma in it. This courageous woman was born in 1865 in an extremely orthodox Brahmin family in Maharashtra. The name given by her parents was Yamuna, later it was rename by her husband Gopalrao as Anandi. She got married at the age of 9 to a widower who was almost thrice her age. At the age of fourteen, Anandibai gave birth to a boy, but the child lived only for ten days because of lack of medical care. This situation proved to be a turning point in Anandibai life, and inspired her to become a physician. Gopalrao was a progressive thinker, and supported women education. So, he encouraged Anandibai to study medicine. In the early 1880s she went to Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania to study medicine. The girl later on became the first Indian woman to qualify as a doctor from USA in 1886. She died at the age of 21 as she was suffering from pneumonia. So, on 26th February 1887, a month before turning 22 she passed away but she opened the doors for many women who wanted to be something in life other doing household jobs.

This wasn't enough, people didn't forget her even after her death. Caroline Wells Healey Dall wrote Anandibai’s biography in 1888. Doordarshan broadcasted a Hindi serial named “Anandi Gopal” based on Anandibai’s life. Shrikrishna Janardan Joshi wrote a fictionalized account of Anandabai ‘s life in his Marathi novel Anandi Gopal. (The novel has been translated in an abridged form in English by Asha Damle.) It has also been adapted into a play of the same name by Ram G. Joglekar.
