‘… a richly satisfying read about a set of extraordinary women’ MANU S. PILLAI
‘Kavitha Rao’s Lady Doctors is several things all at once: a richly satisfying read about a set of extraordinary women; a positively enlightening account of how ordinary girls, against the odds and through sheer—even painful— determination, became pathbreakers; and a much-needed reminder that Indian history is as much the story of understated, often forgotten pioneers as it is of our run-of-the-mill heroes. I learnt much from Lady Doctors, and drew great joy from its pages.’ –Manu S. Pillai.
