Dr. Kadambini Bose Ganguly (18 July 1861 – 3 October 1923) was the first Indian female doctor of western medicine. She and Anandibai Joshi both got their degree in Western medicine in 1886. However, she was India's first practicing lady doctor, as Anandibai died soon after. She was India's first practicing female doctor in modern medicine. Ganguly was the first woman to gain admission to Calcutta Medical College in 1884, subsequently trained in Scotland, and established a successful medical practice in India. She was the first woman speaker in the Indian National Congress.
