When someone says "Cowgirl Up " it means rise to the occasion,
don't give up, and do it all without whining or complaining. And
the cowgirls of the early twentieth century did it all, just like
the men, only wearing skirts and sometimes with a baby waiting
behind the chutes. Women learned to rope and ride out of necessity,
helping their fathers, brothers, and husbands with the ranch work.
But for some women, it went further than that. They caught the
fever of freedom, the thirst for adrenaline, and the thrill of
competition, and many started their rodeo careers as early as age
fourteen. From Alice and Margie Greenough of Red Lodge, whose
father told them "If you can't ride 'em, walk," to Jane Burnett
Smith of Gilt Edge who sneaked off to ride in rodeos at age eleven,
women made wide inroads into the masculine world of rodeo. Montana
boasts its share of women who "busted broncs" and broke ranks in
the macho world of rodeo during the early to mid-1900s. "Cowgirl Up
" is the history of these cowgirls, their courage, and their
accomplishments.
