The word 'mother and child health' appeared because of her in the medical literature which was only 'reproductive health' previously! She in a way shown as how the fields like medicine are also men dominated and how and when medicine thinks about women - only in terms of reproductive health! She is a feminist and says it with lot of pride. Her paper about reproductive tract infections is also a landmark paper and it has given a new dimension to the subject. In her paper on white discharge she mentions that nearly 90% women face these issues which was unknown to medicine till publication of her paper!She has received awards by the hands of president of India.Thanks.--Abhijeet SafaiOn Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 11:11 AM, Parul <sri.parul@gmail.com> wrote:That's a good call out!Please feel free to add her name.There is a Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhay_and_Rani_Bang that talks about her work. But we could have a page exclusively for her.

India has a lot of successful women scientists who have made a mark in their respective fields. However, it is unfortunate that these women still do not have an existence on Wikipedia. Read this blog post to know a little more.
We are organizing a Women Scientists edit-a-thon tomorrow and day after. Join us by editing as many articles as possible during these the two days. Apart from creating articles, you could also help us by correcting or expanding existing ones. Adding names to the existing list of scientists would go a long way too.
Find more details about the event here. Please add your name as a participant and feel free to start editing over a cup of coffee :-)
There is an opt in we would like you to fill up so that we can understand editor behavior better. Please fill up this form if you are participating in the edit-a-thon.
In case you have questions, do write to Netha, Parul or Jeph!
Thanks!
Parul
