Buffalo Bill Cody (born William Frederick Cody on February 26, 1848) is widely recognized by many Americans as the father of The Wild West Show, a grand showcase of Western Americana that included riding, shooting, racing, daring and thrilling pageants recreating life on the American frontier, and much more. Not everyone knows, however, about Buffalo Bill's contribution of including women in the show, often showcasing and featuring them right alongside men.
Two shorts years after debuting his first Wild West show in 1883 Buffalo Bill and his partner at the time, Nate Salsbury, hired a 25 year old markswoman with the stage name of Annie Oakley. Annie had already been enjoying a successful career in shooting competitions and giving exhibitions in different types of stock companies and variety shows, but Bill Cody’s Wild West show was bigger than anything she had yet performed in.
Little Annie Oakley was given billing with the show, a high honor. Utterly feminine in appearance but a total master of a what was then considered to be a masculine skill, Annie thrilled the crowds wherever the show traveled. The crowds not only loved her they accepted her, as did the majority of the men she worked with. Intentionally or unintentionally, Annie and Buffalo Bill were broadening minds about what women could do.
Annie’s success with the crowd was so huge that Buffalo Bill began hiring other women for important, even featured, roles. Within the next few years he had hired Lillian Smith, another outstanding markswoman, Mrs. Georgie Duffy (known as the “Rough Rider From Wyoming”) and Emma Lake Thatcher (billed as Emma Hickock), an outstanding equestrienne, to name only a few. Buffalo Bill was not only taking giant strides to show the American public what cowboys could do, he was showing them what cowgirls could do, too.
