Samenvatting
The cowboy has always been synonymous with the American West, but cowpunchers aren't just men. Visiting ranches & rodeos all across the West, Ronnie Farley has gathered these portraits of cowgirls-not showbiz cowgirls, but the real thing. Her subjects work in harsh, unpredictable climates, bring up families while they manage their ranches, & compete-and win-in rodeos alongside men. Her black-and-white photographs capture the spirit & energy of authentic working cowgirls & the raw beauty of the western landscape. Side by side with the photographs are testimonies in the woman's own words to an America that is fast disappearing-one where conditions are hard, but hard work rewards them with the satisfaction of having lived life on their own terms. Ronnie Farley, also the author... (Lees verder) of Women of the Native Struggle, is a photographer & painter who specializes in Native America & the American West. She has had her photographic work shown nationally & has been published in USA Today & The Village Voice.
