First female doctor in India.

First female doctor in India and the first Indian woman to obtain a medical degree in the United States.
Anandi died at the tender age of just 21 (just before her 22nd birthday). But before that, she became the first female physician in India in 1887. Her condition deteriorated while she was in the second year of her studies. Yet, she still completed her studies and returned to India. She was later diagnosed with tuberculosis, which ultimately caused her death. She opened the gates for many young Indian women who wanted to do more than devote their life to household chores.
