Cet article examine les activites des femmes contrebandieres au Cameroun dans les annees 1990, c'est a dire la periode de devaluation de la monnaie nationale. Malgre les connotations generalement negatives associees a la contrebande, nous suggerons que cette forme de commerce peu orthodoxe eut certains effets positifs sur la vie des femmes entrepreneurs individuels, voire meme sur la societe camerounaise en general. Traditionnellement marginalisees d'un point de vue economique, les femmes au Cameroun-dont dans bien des cas d'anciennes prostituees-sont ainsi capables, grâce a la contrebande, de subvenir a leurs besoins et a ceux de leurs enfants, de combler les deficits dans le budget du menage, et d'obtenir un statut respectable dans la societe. Grâce a leurs contacts avec les assistants de plage et les responsables officiels du gouvernement, elles ont egalement contribue, pour le meilleur ou pour le pire, a l'effacement des limites entre economie officielle et souterraine au Cameroun
