Speedy delete

I removed the speedy delete tag from this page, as the article clearly DOES assert the importance of the subject GameKeeper 07:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Need Section

There should be some details on effect of Dr. Anandi Joshi's return to India and 'aftermaths' after her demise, mostly on then socio-economic conditions. Did she inspired other Indian women for practising medicine?? Who was second Indian female doctor? 125.21.165.158 (talk) 06:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC) Maddy, India[reply]

First woman doctor

Comment - This article claims Anandibai Gopal Joshi to be the first Indian woman who qualified as a doctor from Philadelphia. Another page claims that Kadambini Ganguly was the first woman doctor in South Asia. This article does not have complete information. The dates are a little misleading. She was born in 1865, four years after Kadambini Ganguly. She was married and had a child. The year she passed Entrance/ school exam is not mentioned. She qualified as a doctor from Philadelphia and then died in 1887. It is obvious that she did not practise as a doctor. Even if the claim of Anandi Gopal Joshi passing out earlier holds, Kadambini Ganguly was the first practising woman doctor in South Asia. Moreover, the article does not have any references. May be it would be inserted later. The present Internet link leads to “Forbidden: You don't have permission to access”. This page needs attention and publicity. -- P.K.Niyogi 02:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Collaboration of the week

I've added sections to the article, copyedited it, added links, removed any potential POV statements, and generally tidied it up a bit. It needs much more work, especially in terms of references; and I think it would benefit from more historical context, especially in terms of Joshi's timeline with other female doctors such as Kadambini Ganguly, as P.K.Niyogi mentions above. -- TinaSparkle 15:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some Questions

Since beginning I have some question.

She went to US in 1883 and completed her masters in 1886 and she even submitted a thesis. Did she complete any pre-course in India?
Why did she choose to go to US only? Calcutta Medical College was fully functional during that time.

One thing that editors should note that the novel Anandi Joshi is a fictional novel based on her life written by Shri Ja Joshi.. Other thing I want to mention here is that Anandi Joshi had written a preface to Pandita Ramabai's book. I had read it some long time back.. Currently I dont have any source through which I can incorporate the same in the article. If you have then please do so.. --IndianCow^Talk 21:34, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Anandibai Joshi

There is an interesting article in The Telegraph, 4 September 2007 regarding Anandibai Joshi. Those who are working on her biography may find it useful. - P.K.Niyogi 02:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

I can't rate this article because I've worked on it, but I definitely think it's worth more than a stub rating now - though I realise it needs more sources. Surely an upgrade to Start, at least, would be in order? -- TinaSparkle 15:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Variations of names

I found a lot of different variations of her name, which makes searching for citations difficult. I thought it might be helpful to list the names on WikiData for future reference. Jooojay (talk) 07:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification of factual matters; relationship with Gopalrao

I recently made some changes to this page, based on the research I conducted for my dissertation "Education Women Physicians of the World: International Students of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, 1883-1911." (This dissertation fulfilled the requirements for a PhD in History at the University of California, Los Angeles.)

I clarified several matters, including the date of Joshi's graduation from medical school and the name of the woman (Anna Thoburn) who recommended that she enroll in WMCP, in addition to adding some contextual information about her relationships with Theodocia Carpenter and Caroline Dall. I removed the part about Joshi's desire to start a medical college in India. I've never come across that, and this is not mentioned in the reprint of Joshi's speech in the Dall biography. I would be interested to hear if there is any source which confirms this idea.

On a broader level, I'd like to question the overall representation of Gopalrao Joshi's role in Joshi's life in this article. It is undoubtedly true that Gopalrao played a critical role in Anandibai's educational achievements. She was only nine when they married, thirteen when they began to make plans for medical school, and 17 when she left for the U.S. There is strong evidence to suggest his abusiveness towards her. However, I don't believe any of this means that Joshi's decisions can be entirely attributed to Gopalrao's ambitions for her. Most of those who knew her commented that Anandibai was an unusually mature and intelligent for her age, and in any case even young women in difficult circumstances are still capable of exercising agency. So while the relationship between Anandibai and Gopalrao was undeniably complex, I believe we must acknowledge Joshi's own role in setting these events in motion. This article also underplays the role of Joshi's female friendships--including Theodocia Carpenter, Rachel Bodley, and her distant cousin Pandita Ramabai. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HistorianSRPK (talk • contribs) 23:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
