This book attempts to critically examine Dalit women's literature to analyse how Dalit women perceive and depict caste, class, and gender in their autobiographies and fiction. It endeavours to locate the beginning of Dalit women's socio-political and cultural movements and peruse their nature, scope and significance. Literature of Protest: Reading Dalit Women's Autobiographies and Fiction explores how traditionally suppressed, marginalized and muted Dalit women forayed into writing to express their distress, uncover dominant power structures, voice their indignation, and register their protest against them in order to abrogate disparities and restore their autonomy.
