Memorial Garden Print-and-Go Activity: Anandibai Joshee traveled from India to study medicine at the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1886. When she graduated, she became the first female Hindu doctor. Sadly, during her time in school, Dr. Joshee contracted tuberculosis. She died just one year after graduating. Let's honor her short but impactful life by designing a memorial garden in her honor in front of the Women's Medical College she attended using the provided worksheet, which features original artwork.
My Daily Schedule Print-and-Go Activity: Anandibai Joshee, the first Hindu female doctor, wanted to blend Western medicine with her traditional Ayurvedic practices.
