This paper presents a comparative analysis of feminist resistance as articulated by Sojourner Truth, a 19th-century African American abolitionist and women’s rights activist, and Bama, a contemporary Dalit writer from India. Drawing from Truth’s famous speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” and Bama’s autobiographical novel Karukku, the study examines how both women challenge dominant narratives within mainstream feminist movements that often overlook the intersections of race, caste, gender, and class. Through close reading and contextual analysis, the paper highlights the ways in which both authors use personal experience as political testimony, critique institutionalized religion, and reclaim the marginalized body as a site of power and resistance. By foregrounding intersectionality, the paper argues that the feminist visions of Truth and Bama expand and deepen global feminist discourse, making a compelling case for more inclusive and community-centered approaches to gender justice.
