Size Guide

It’s our mission to make sure the world knows Anandibai’s story. As the first South Asian woman to become a physician—in 1886, when it was rare for girls to learn to read and write, much less attend university—her extraordinary life and defiance of societal expectations deserve recognition.

Join us in celebrating Anandibai Joshee every year on her birthday on March 31. And let’s share her story so every day can be an Anandibai Joshee Day!

What's the story?

Dr. Anandibai Joshee was the first South Asian woman to become a physician, and did so in 1886, when it was rare for girls to learn to read and write, much less attend university.

After the tragic death of her son, fourteen-year-old Anandibai became determined to become a physician to ensure women would have greater access and choice in medical care. She went on to graduate from the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
