Cowgirls of the Rodeo: Pioneer Professional Athletes Paperback - 1999

by Mary LeCompte


From the publisher

Acclaimed as a foundational study of rodeo women, Cowgirls of the Rodeosurveys the early rodeo cowgirls' achievements as professional athletes. Mary Lou LeCompte follows the story through the near-demise of women's rodeo events during World War II and the phenomenal success of the Women's Professional Rodeo Association in regaining lost ground for rodeo cowgirls. Recalling an extraordinary chapter in women's history and the history of American sport, Cowgirls of the Rodeo deepens our understanding of the challenges facing women in the American West and in American sport.

First line

American rodeo owes its very existence to the public's continuing fascination the cowboy hero, and what the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian William H. Goetzmann and art historian William N. Goetzmann call "the West of the Imagination."
