Book Description
Before the turn of the twentieth century, most women would not dream of engaging in "men's work." Women were expected to ride sidesaddle, wear skirts, and most women did not race their pony like lightning after a prairie wolf. Regardless of society's rules, these were the things Lucille Mulhall loved. Growing up on her family's ranch in Oklahoma, she learned to do cowboy chores: rope, train horses, and brand cattle-and she did it better than most men. Recognizing his daughter's natural talent, Colonel Zack Mulhall encouraged Lucille to enter the world of show business. From steer roping competitions to vaudeville acts to Wild West shows, Lucille entertained enthusiastic crowds. Her skill and perfect sense of timing, as well as her small stature and feminine demeanor, made her an audience favorite. Heralded by Will Rogers as America's first "cowgirl," Lucille Mulhall became an inspiration for women everywhere. About the Author: Cynthia Kay Rhodes is a writer and illustrator who discovered a passion in writing biographies for children. Between Two Worlds: The Legend Of Quanah Parker, her first book, focused on the life of the renowned Comanche chief. With Lucille Mulhall: An Athlete Of Her Time, she wanted to present the true story of a remarkable woman, which also focused on her two favorite interests: horses and the Wild West.

Book Description
Oklahoma's central location and ranching tradition gave it a unique connection to the rodeo industry as it grew from a local pastime to an internationally popular sport. From the very beginning, Oklahoma cowgirls played a significant role in developing the institution and the businesses that grew up in its shadow. Lucille Mulhall's pioneering roping carved out a place for women in the actual competition, while Mildred Chrisman's promotional efforts kept rodeo chutes open during the Great Depression. Modern ranchers like Terry Stuart produced the quarter horses sought by professional athletes around the world. From Guymon to Pawhuska and from stock contractors to rodeo clowns, Tracey Hanshew follows the trail that Oklahoma women blazed across this rough-and-tumble sport.

Lucille had her heart set on roping and riding. At a time when most women couldn’t vote or own property, Lucille never let society’s expectations or the dangers of roping and riding stop her from pursuing her passion. Traveling around the country, she broke records and thrilled crowds with her daring acts. Soon cowboys, ranch hands, and folks all over the world cheered for the feisty and fearless girl cowboy.
