Stella Piari Abidh (1903–1989) was a Trinidad and Tobago public health physician who was the first Indo-Trinidadian women to become a doctor. Abidh served as a Medical Officer of Health in south Trinidad, and was a pioneering Indo-Trinidadian woman in the public sphere. Early life and educationAbidh was the daughter of Clarence Carmichael Abidh, headmaster of the Canadian Mission Indian school in Charlieville,[1]{{Rp|89}} and member of the Legislative Council.[2] Her mother died when she was young.[3] She was educated at Naparima Girls' High School in San Fernando where she was the first student to complete the Junior Cambridge Certificate,[4] and later at Saint Joseph's Convent, in Port of Spain.[5] After rejecting the marriage arranged for her by her grandmother, Abidh became a school teacher.[3] Inspired by the story of Rosalie Sanowar, the first Indo-Trinidadian woman to become a nurse, Abidh applied to study nursing. In response to this, her father suggested she become a doctor. When he approached the head of the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad for help to send her to Canada to study medicine, he was told "I would not send a daughter to do medicine. Indian girls are morally weak and would not be able to stand those pressures". After making her promise not to be "one of those Indian people", her father sent her to Canada to study medicine.[3] CareerAbidh is believed to have been the first Indo-Trinidadian women to become a doctor.[3][4][6] Abidh served as the Medical Officer of Health for San Fernando,[11] and served as medical supervisor of schools in south Trinidad.[1]{{rp|244–245}} She specialised in public health after observing that she was primarily treating preventable diseases.[3] ImpactIn their book Post-Colonial Trinidad, British academics Colin and Gillian Clarke called Abidh "arguably [one of the two] most prominent Indian women professionals of their generation".[7]{{Rp|17}} Corinne Averille McKnight, former Ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago to the United States listed Abidh among a small group of "pioneer women of [Trinidad and Tobago]" who noted her contribution as a "medical doctor, great humanitarian, and social worker".[8]{{Rp|189}} Personal lifeAbidh's relationship with labour leader Adrian Cola Rienzi produced several children, but because they were not married, the children with given the surname Waugh and were raised in Canada.[9] HonoursStella Abidh was awarded the Chaconia Medal (Gold) in 1988, the Public Service Medal of Merit (Gold) in 1971[10] and was featured on a postage stamp issued by Trinidad and Tobago in 1980.[11] Notes1. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/681923933|title=Gender negotiations among Indians in Trinidad, 1917–1947|last=Patricia.|first=Mohammed,|date=2002|publisher=Palgrave in association with Institute of Social Studies|others=Institute of Social Studies (Netherlands), Palgrave Connect (Online service)|isbn=9781403914163|location=Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire|oclc=681923933}} 2. ^{{Citation|last=Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago|title=Parliamentary Personalities – Clarence Abidh|date=2015-03-10|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTzf8PAqaRM|access-date=2019-03-28}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48497139|title=Stories in Caribbean feminism : reflections on the Twentieth Century|last=Mohammed|first=Patricia|date=1998|publisher=Centre for Gender and Development Studies, The University of the West Indies|year=|isbn=9766201455|location=St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago|pages=|oclc=48497139}} 4. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/965128517|title=Indo-Caribbean feminist thought : genealogies, theories, enactments|last=Mohammed|first=Patricia|date=|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|year=2016|isbn=9781137559371|editor-last=Hosein|editor-first=Gabrielle|location=New York|pages=23–36|chapter=A Vindication for Indo-Caribbean Feminism|oclc=965128517|editor-last2=Outar|editor-first2=Lisa}} 5. ^{{Cite book|title=My Mother's Daughter: The Autobiography of Anna Mahase Snr. 1899–1978|last=Mahase|first=Anna|publisher=Royard's Publishing Company|year=1992|isbn=|location=Union Village, Claxton Bay|pages=32}} 6. ^Patricia Mohammed (2016) says of Abidh "to my knowledge, the first Indian female physician in Trinidad". 7. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/688186382|title=Post-colonial Trinidad : an ethnographic journal|last=G.|first=Clarke, Colin|date=2010|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|others=Clarke, Gillian.|isbn=9780230106857|edition= 1st|location=New York|oclc=688186382}} 8. ^{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42849609|title=Then, they were twelve : the women of Washington's Embassy Row|last=1961–|first=Séphocle, Marilyn,|date=2000|publisher=Praeger|isbn=0275968332|location=Westport, Conn.|oclc=42849609}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://guardian.co.tt/news/my-family-would-never-do-6.2.351764.30d0585e46|title=My family would never do that|last=Rambally|first=Rhonda Krystal|date=2016-03-11|work=Trinidad and Tobago Guardian|access-date=2019-03-28}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://otp.tt/trinidad-and-tobago/national-awards-database/|title=National Awards Database {{!}} The Office of the President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-28}} 11. ^{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=February 1981|title=Recent Topical Releases|url=http://www.unpi.com/journals/UNPI_Journal_4_3.pdf|journal=The Journal of the United Nations Philatelists|volume=4|pages=52|via=}} References{{Reflist}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Abidh, Stella}} 3 : Trinidad and Tobago physicians|1903 births|1989 deaths |
