Event Details

Probably the most famous woman of her day, Annie Oakley competed in a sport and world dominated by men. Achieving fame as a Lady Sharpshooter, she fought for safe working conditions, fair and equal pay for a day's work regardless of gender or heritage, and for a first-rate show that presented good solid family entertainment. She believed women are just as capable as men and firmly insisted they should strive to reach any goal or occupation. Hear how fame and success came with a price as Annie Oakley, portrayed by Kim Hanley, shares her story of being one of the first international superstars.
