Question

"The Nanette is not quite a Nana, but she has the ambition to accumulate wealth and be rich and powerful like a Nana Benz. To be a Nanette means to not be afraid to take risks, to travel often, and to work several trades at the same time, all in highly flexible ways. Just like the Nana Benz, she is a similarly ingenious arbiter of style and taste who imports new products and transforms Dutch designs. However, the Nanette is not protected by her manufacturer, nor does she benefit from the prestige Dutch wax evokes. Her position is never secure; it remains precarious and linked to short-term investments. Although the Nanas had long controlled an international trade network that required flexible skills to predict color and design trends across the region or to recuperate credit transnationally from clients, their work was relatively stable, and they traveled only moderately".
