▻https://feminisminindia.com/2017/08/17/9-women-authors-postcolonial-feminism
Women in Asia, the Middle-east and Africa face double marginalisation on account of their race as well as sex. The emergence of black feminism as a challenge to mainstream white feminism that either marginalised the voices of women of colour or subsumed it within its larger discourse, was a watershed event (or rather a gradual process) in the history of feminism. Given below is a list of women authors whose writings have established the contours of feminism for us, as post-colonial subjects and as women of colour. This list, however, is not exhaustive and I have incorporated authors whose readings have helped me comprehend feminism better.
1. Toni Morrison
2. Audre Lorde
3. Jean Rhys
4. Nawal El Saadawi
5. Flora Nwapa
6. Chimamanda Adichie
7. Alice Walker
8. Urvashi Butalia
9. Mahasweta Devi
