Subaltern Women's Narratives is a groundbreaking collection of intersectional feminist scholarship from the Humanities and Social Sciences that delves into the compelling narratives of subaltern women who have resisted and subverted oppressive systems. With a multidisciplinary approach, the collection explores the lived experiences of these marginalized women across diverse geographical landscapes, examining their struggles and triumphs as they navigate modes of labor and activism.

The book is organized thematically, with two primary foci: firstly, it seeks to understand the lived experiences of subaltern women as they navigate the complexities of a world marked by political flux and conflicts. Secondly, it examines the dissenting practices of subaltern women as documented in texts and archives, shedding light on their innovative approaches to challenging dominant narratives.

By pushing the boundaries of scholarship on decolonial and postcolonial feminism and subaltern studies, this collection offers a fresh perspective on women's subversive practices, particularly in the realms of epistemology and embodiment. It is designed to appeal to scholars, postgraduates, and undergraduates engaged in the fields of colonial and postcolonial studies, as well as historians and scholars of nineteenth-century and contemporary literature.

In particular, scholars working on subaltern theory, feminist theory, indigenous cultures, anticolonial resistance, and the Global South will find this book invaluable. The rich and diverse narratives presented in Subaltern Women's Narratives provide a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complexities and resilience of subaltern women in the face of adversity.
