  • Abstract:
  • This article examines the roles of women medical practitioners in colonial India, foregrounding the intersections of race, gender, patriarchy, and missionary influence within imperial structures. It analyzes how both Indian and British missionary women navigated and contested the racialized and patriarchal architecture of colonial medicine. Through a critical study of figures such as Anandibai Joshi, Kadambini Ganguly, and Muthulakshmi Reddy, the article explores how women appropriated Western medical knowledge to assert indigenous agency. It also interrogates the dual role of women doctors one as instruments of empire and other as agents of resistance especially in their engagement with tribal and marginalized populations.
