The objective of this work, held in Mindelo, São Vicente Island, Cape Verde, is the role of transnational trade in the lives of women who weave as nets that give life to it. My interest is the context about the social in which the woman is a central figure both in the home space - while the mother woman - and in the public domain - as the trader in the central role in the streets, markets and shops, not only in the city, but transnational routes. To get such an analysis, present the most common changes used by these women to get products that are more abundant like their stores, the destinations that often have merged with the migratory. By being classified as predominantly by women, investing also as a congruence between two worlds that are routinely as sobrana, a house and a street, from the notion of female centrality, are so present in the studies on the archipelago.
