This is an interesting fact that I came across through my wife... Anandhibai Joshi is the first hindu woman doctor of India, born at Pune. She got married at the age of 9 and gave birth to a baby boy when she was 14 yrs old. It is truly inspiring to see how she aspired to become a doctor. She graduated in 1886. Yes, this happened a century ago. She graduated at the age of 21 and unfortunately passed away the next year after returning to India. Even though she lived for a short period of time, her fame is still living and its immortal.

I saved the best for the last... the most interesting one I found is the letter to Alfred Jones, dated June 28th 1883, written by Anandhibai Joshi.
