    Abstract
    SUMMARY This article describes how a scattered group of women in Bombay, who cook for male migrant workers in their own homes, organised to improve their working conditions. Although isolated from each other, and with interests in conflict with their worker customers, they have succeeded in freeing themselves from reliance on money?lenders, and in winning some recognition of their rights as workers. RESUME Organiser l'Annapurna Cet article décrit comment un groupe de femmes isolées qui font la cuisine à Bombay chez les travailleurs migrants masculins, se sont organisées pour améliorer leurs conditions de travail. Bien qu'isolées les unes autres, et quoique leurs intérêts aillent à l'encontre de ceux de leurs clients, elles ont réussi à ne plus faire appel aux prêteurs sur gages et à obtenir certains droits. RESUMEN Organización del Annapurna En este artículo se describe la manera en que un grupo disperso de mujeres en Bombay, que cocina para trabajadores inmigrantes masculinos en sus propios hogares, se organizó para mejorar sus condiciones de trabajo. Aunque aisladas entre sí, y con intereses conflictivos con sus clientes trabajadores, han conseguido liberarse de su dependencia en los prestamistas y han conseguido cierto reconocimiento de sus derechos como trabajadoras.
