This letter, written by 17-year-old, Anandibai Gopal Joshi in Kolkata, India, in 1883, prompted the author’s journey to give voice to some remarkable women physicians in her debut historical novel—The Unlocked Path, which touches on sexism & self-doubt in a young woman who pursued an unorthodox career in medicine.
The determination which has brought me to your country against the combined opposition of my friends and caste ought to go a long way towards helping me to carry out the purpose for which I came, i.e., is to render to my poor suffering countrywomen the true medical aid they so sadly stand in need of and which they would rather die than accept at the hands of a male physician. The voice of humanity is with me, and I must not fail. My soul is moved to help the many who cannot help themselves.
