This photo taken on October 10, 1885, of three genius women at the Woman’s Medical College of Philadelphia. A small reminder that they were capable of achieving great heights, remember in 1885 not too many women were leaders in many fields.
A very important aspect of this photo is the diversity it depicts. These women belong to three different countries – India, Japan, and Syria and are dressed up in their traditional outfits.
All of them moved to the U.S. to study medicine and become doctors despite the boundaries set for them. It wasn’t easy for women to step out of their homes, away from family friends and community, but these women broke the stereotypes and landed in a new country to gain knowledge and earn respect!
