%X Arundhati Roy and Mahasweta Devi are well-known Indian authors that stand out for their continuous vindication of human rights in favour of the most disadvantaged, which includes feminism and the fight against gender-based discrimination. In their works, both writers narrate stories whose female characters suffer marginalisation, abuse and numerous restrictions due to their condition of women. This portrayal of violence and injustice can be understood as a critic upon the Indian caste system, the patriarchy and the objectification of women. These are precisely the aspects that shall be analysed in this work with the purpose of understanding what these authors denounce in their narrations. In particular, the project shall be focused on Roy’s The God of Small Things and Devi’s Outcast and Breast Stories.
