This book critically examines these inadequate and distorted representations, exploring how caste, class, and gender intersect to shape Dalit women's lived experiences and their literary portrayal.Foregrounding the rise of Dalit feminism, the study highlights how Dalit women writers and theorists reclaim narrative authority, challenge male-centered and savarna perspectives, and assert their agency, resistance, and political consciousness.
