She was born in Maharashtra and obtained her degree in medicine from the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania. After returning to India she worked at a sugar factory as an assistant doctor and later opened a clinic. She was an advocate for women's education and was a pioneer in raising awareness of the importance of self-knowledge. Anandi Gopal Joshi passed away on February 26th, 1887, in Kalyan, India, at the age of 21. She is remembered as an inspiring and brave advocate for women's rights in a time when the traditional roles of women were suppressing them.
