The article elucidates the doubly marginalized position of dalit women in the marginal community of dalits and highlights how these women make the creative use of their marginality and learning from their “outsider-within” status to articulate their lived experience and perspectives. The article analyses the novels of two dalit women writers from Tamil Nadu (India) – Bama’s Sangati Events (2005) and Palanimuthu Sivakami’s The Grip of Change (2006) – to discuss and explore the sociological significance of the two characteristic issues in these narratives: the interlocking nature of dalit women’s oppression, and their endurance and resilience. The perspectives of dalit women writers create new knowledge about their lives, families, and community, which provide a preparatory point for the development of a dalit feminist standpoint. Further, the exploration may help other marginalized sections or sociologists by putting greater trust in the creative potential of their narratives and cultural biographies.

这篇文章阐明了达利特女性在达利特边缘社区中的双重边缘化地位，并强调了这些女性如何创造性地利用她们的边缘地位，并从她们的“外在”身份中学习来表达她们的生活经历和观点。本文分析了来自泰米尔纳德邦（印度）的两位达利特女性作家的小说——巴马的 Sangati Events（2005 年）和 Palanimuthu Sivakami 的 The Grip of Change（2006 年）——以讨论和探讨这些叙事中两个典型问题的社会学意义：达利特妇女受压迫的环环相扣的本质，以及她们的耐力和韧性。达利特女性作家的视角创造了关于她们的生活、家庭和社区的新知识，这为发展达利特女权主义立场提供了准备点。更远，
