| | | | A pioneer across continents Happy Tuesday, Baltimore. Hope you're enjoying the warm weather! If you've been reading this newsletter throughout March, you've learned a lot about the history of women in tech and other STEM fields thanks to lead Baltimore reporter Alanah Nichole Davis' diligent research. Today, as I take over this note from Alanah (don't worry, she'll be back tomorrow), I'm keeping this Women's History Month commemoration going by recognizing another trailblazing woman in STEM, Dr. Anandibai Gopalrao Joshi.
I first learned about Joshi when I was living in Philadelphia, through the work of the South Asian American Digital Archive. That's when I found out that Joshi had also lived in Philly, where she earned a medical degree from the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania (now part of Drexel University College of Medicine) in 1886. This accomplishment, at a time when women in North America and Europe had few options for medical education or professions, made Joshi the first South Asian woman to earn a medical degree in the US. And although she died from tuberculosis barely a year after, her commitment to education in the face of traditionalist sexism and racism solidified her place in global medical history.
Any women in tech, medicine or other scientific disciplines that we should highlight before March ends? Or even beyond? Let us know by replying to this email, and thanks! — Technical.ly editor Sameer Rao (sameer@technical.ly) |
