Abstract: In the 1970s the role of women in West African trade started to raise some interest, with the nana Benz in Lome and the driankes in Dakar. In Senegal, the driankes became renowned for travelling to East Asian cities and Dubai to obtain supplies of goods to be sold in the local market. With the East Asian crisis and the rise of China as the world factory, cities in Guangzhou and, recently, in Yiwu have started to attract African migrants and traders. And women have followed this wave.
