Abstract: This article investigates the trajectory of women’s organizational interventions in the economic sphere of Eastern Uttar Pradesh (Purvanchal) during the twentieth century. A significant portion of historiography has concentrated on the political roles played by women in the struggle against colonial ruleor their social reform regarding marriage and education, this study centers on the materialist interventions of women’s collectives—ranging from elite philanthropic associations to radical peasant auxiliaries—in regulating labor, employment, and the domestic economy. Adopting a multidisciplinary lens that synthesizes social history, labor economics, and gender sociology, the article argues that women’s organizations in Eastern UP functioned as critical mediators between the "private" domestic economy and the "public" labor market. It scrutinizes how these organizations navigated the semi-feudal agrarian relations of Gorakhpur and Basti, the weaving economies of Varanasi, and the intellectual-administrative nexus of Allahabad. The study further elucidates how caste hierarchies and the unique "money-order economy" of the region shaped the efficacy and ideological orientation of these interventions.
