This talk will simultaneously explain and move beyond the gynopia – the inability  
to “see” women in their relational capacities – at the heart of modern economic  
history of the Indian subcontinent. It extends an argument begun in Forgotten  
Friends (2013) connecting parts of eastern India to economic networks operating  
in regions that modern Indians identify as ‘Bengal’ while tracing overlooked  
women as economic actors in precolonial circuits.
