Cet article vise deux objectifs: le premier veut montrer comment et pourquoi les femmes vinrent s'établir dans les toutes premières années du XXe siècle et qu'une fois sur place, pourquoi elles devinrent des prostituées; le second veut être une explication des voies par lesquelles ces femmes indépendantes ont su créer une telle vie sociale, par leur adhésion à l'Islam, leurs réseaux à la fois de pseudo-parenté et d'urbanité sociale, et par l'investissement de leurs revenus dans la propriété urbaine. Nous montrons que, dans cette démarche, elles sont devenues une strate importante de la petite bourgeoisie africaine qui s'est dégagée comme marginale dans l'économie coloniale
