Krupabai satthianadhan: a journey of first female indian author

Krupabai satthianadhan: A journey of first female indian author Credits: pipspatch.com Her life starts on 1862 in Ahmednagar. Her Father name was Haripunt and mother name is Radhaibai khisty. Things haven’t turned lucky for her as her father passed away when she was just a child, and she was brought up by her mother and elder brother Bhasker. Even though the societal mindset of that time doesn’t encourage women to be educated but train women to be much of a housewife or houseworker. But krupabai brother Bhasker had a strong influence on her and encouraged her to inculcate the habit of reading books. Bhasker diedat a young age which was one of the prominent people in krupabai's life who supported her in her studies. Death of Bhasker left krupabai deeply wounded, and two European women missionaries helped her and took responsibility of her studies. Later on when she went to Bombay Boarding School for studies, there she met an American woman doctor who got her interested in medicine.
