With a widowed mother and six siblings, Annie Oakley first
became a trapper, hunter, and sharpshooter simply to put food on
the table. Yet her genius with the gun eventually led to her
stardom in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show during the latter half of
the nineteenth century. The archetypal western woman, Annie Oakley
urged women to take up shooting to procure food, protect
themselves, and enjoy healthy exercise, yet she was also the proper
Victorian lady, demurely dressed and skeptical about the value of
women's suffrage. Glenda Riley presents the first interpretive
biography of the complex woman who was Annie Oakley.
