The daily realities of caste-based marginalization exacerbated by patriarchal structures are highlighted in Dalit women\u2019s narratives, particularly in autobiographical works and literary testimony. This study shows how these texts reclaim agency by redefining selfhood, narrating labour beyond economic categories, and representing embodied experiences of violence and resistance. It does this by analysing a selection of works by Dalit women writers alongside feminist and intersectional theoretical frameworks. The results show that Dalit feminist narratives are important venues of embodied knowledge production and socio-political critique that subvert both Dalit and mainstream feminist discourses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Examined, Feminist, Labour, Women, Violence, Autobiographical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 70-78<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/70-78.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Soma Jash DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04030011 Abstract: The interwoven themes of identity, labour, and the body as places of oppression and resistance are examined in this article\u2019s analysis of Dalit feminist literature.
