Education-education was scarce for Oakley because she grew up in poverty. Working was more important and practically consumed her life from working at the infantry to working for the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.

Jobs-Her most famous jobs was working for the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, she traveled preforming at various locations showing off her supreme shooting skills where people watched in shock because a girl was behind the trigger. Her most famous tricks included shooting a cigarette out of her husbands mouth!

Legacy-The impact Annie Oakley had was incredible for all women during this time period and still effects us today. She showed them there is life beyond the kitchen and women do have rights to preform other activities (such as shooting guns). By age 15 she paid off her mother's mortgage (using the money she earned from shooting) which was something her father should have done; this is just another example of how women were capable of doing anything. Oakley symbolized courage for all women to stand up for themselves and follow what they believe in. She showed them that women can do everything men can do, and sometimes even better. Without her legacy women's rights may have not come as far as they have. Women today have equal rights, are able to vote, can work a variety of jobs etc.

“God intended women to be outside as well as men, and they do not know what they are missing when they stay cooped up in the house.”

Fighting For-Women's Rights are a very big part of my life. We should be treated with just as respect as men because we are equals! If I can shoot a gun better than a man why shouldn't I be given the same respect? I am not necessarily a feminist, but I believe in equal pay, rights, and independence for all women

Annie Oakley did not participate in protests/give speeches towards women's rights but she advocated her thoughts and was a public image for other women to look up to

Just Married!!

Francis E. Butler (an Irish immigrant) placed a $100 bet with Jack Frost, that he could beat any local fancy shooter. The hotelier arranged a shooting match between Butler and I. After missing on his 25th shot, Butler lost the match and the bet. After dating for awhile, we married on August 23, 1876. (best day of my life)
