This research article offers a comparative study of the intersectionality of caste, race, and gender as explored in the works of two prominent women writers: P. Sivakami from India and Gloria Naylor from the United States. The study focuses on Sivakami's The Grip of Change and Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place, two novels that highlight the struggles of marginalized women within oppressive social structures. Through a feminist lens, this paper examines how both authors use their narratives to shed light on the unique experiences of women who are doubly oppressed—by gender and by social stratifications such as caste and race. P. Sivakami’s The Grip of Change focuses on the lives of Dalit women in rural Tamil Nadu, revealing how caste-based oppression intersects with patriarchal domination. The novel provides a critical commentary on the complexities of caste politics, showing how women bear the brunt of these entrenched systems. Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place, on the other hand, portrays the lives of African American women in an urban American setting, where race and gender oppression define their experiences. Naylor’s work highlights the communal struggles faced by Black women as they navigate a society steeped in systemic racism and sexism. The comparative analysis in this paper aims to illustrate how both authors employ narrative techniques to expose the entrenched nature of social hierarchies and how these systems perpetuate the marginalization of women. Sivakami and Naylor use their protagonists’ journeys to challenge these oppressive structures, presenting stories of resistance and survival. Through the exploration of female agency, community solidarity, and resistance, this study underscores the ways in which caste and race intersect with gender to compound the struggles of women in different cultural and geographical contexts. Additionally, this research investigates how both authors critique the dominant discourses of their respective societies, offering insights into how these women navigate and resist oppression. By breaking the barriers imposed by caste and race, Sivakami and Naylor give voice to women who are often silenced and marginalized. This study concludes that despite the vast differences in cultural contexts, both authors demonstrate that gender oppression, when compounded by race and caste, becomes a complex but pivotal factor in shaping the identities and lived realities of marginalized women. This comparative analysis contributes to broader feminist discourses on intersectionality, illustrating the ways in which different forms of oppression interlock and shape individual experiences. It also provides insights into the universality of female struggle across cultural divides, while acknowledging the specific social conditions that inform these narratives. By focusing on the intersection of caste and race through the lens of gender, this study offers a deeper understanding of how marginalized women resist and survive in oppressive societies, drawing parallels between Indian and African American women’s experiences.
