ANANDIBAI JOSHEE: A LIFE IN POEMS
by Shikha Malaviya
HARPERCOLLINS
₹399; 136 pages
Anandibai Joshee (1865-87) was India's first female physician and also, it seems, the first Indian woman to travel to the United States to pursue an education. In this extraordinarily unusual book of poems, based in part on Joshee's letters, her life is reimagined in verse by Shikha Malaviya, a writer based in the San Francisco Bay area. Malaviya decided to write these 'historical persona poems' while researching a long lyric poem on the racism she had experienced while growing up in Minnesota in the early 1980s.
