One of those times when a post truly justifies the name of the subreddit! Would love to know more about this picture as well as the institution.

Now known as Drexel College of Medicine, producing fine doctors to this day. :)

Dr. Anandi Bai Joshi (last name spelled incorrectly in the picture) went on to become first woman to travel by herself abroad to receive medical education / become India's first female doctor.

So proud of such pioneers not only in India but all over the world, who broke barriers and paved way for generations to come.
