Abstract:
A group of development analysts - researchers, activists, and practitioners -
engaged in an unusual exercise in early 2004. They had a dialogue about labor market,
trade and poverty issues, but they preceded the dialogue with exposure to the realities of
the lives of six remarkable women in Gujarat: Dohiben, Kalavatiben, Kamlaben,
Kesarben, Leelaben and Ushaben. These women are all members of SEWA (the Self-
Employed Women's Association) of India. Their struggles provided the frame for the
technical dialogue that followed. This is a Compendium of personal and technical
reflections of the analysts involved in the exercise.

and Ushaben.
