About the Book
This book explores the origin of women’s entry into medicine in colonial Bengal, tracing the complex and layered history of gender, medicine, and colonialism. By examining the social, political, and cultural factors that enabled women to enter the medical profession, the book delves into the legacy of colonial policies and their long-lasting effects on contemporary medical practices and gender roles in India.
The author unpacks the nuanced stories behind this pioneering shift in medical history, offering some answers while also raising thought-provoking new questions about its legacy. The book highlights how the impacts of this transformation still resonate in modern healthcare and continue to influence gender dynamics today.
This work is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of gender, colonial history, and medicine, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone looking to understand the broader cultural and historical forces that shaped women’s participation in medicine.
