Reviews for Oh, You Cowgirl!
"In producing, writing and directing OH, YOU COWGIRL!, Shirley Morris has given a gift to history of the West. Fascinated by the cowgirls of old, she has dug deep into their lives, coming up with first hand sources (relatives, letters, diaries and photos) that tell their stories as they truly were, not romanticized and flowery like the tales are often told and retold. She has unearthed never-seen-before photos and unheard stories of these heroic women. It was my pleasure to have a small part in it. View this DVD with pleasure knowing the stories are true and from the heart."
Ann Terry Hill, Co-Author, Pendleton Round-Up At 100.
"Shirley Morris opens her rich film, Oh, You Cowgirl!; The True Story About America's Unsung Heroes, The Cowgirls,with a quote from an old Wild West show cowboy performer, disparaging women's lack of riding skills. The sequence ends with the message: "He was wrong," and the film of the "buckin' horse suffragettes"—rodeo and Wild West show cowgirls—goes on to show just how wrong he was.
Oh, You Cowgirl! offers a feast vintage photographs and film footage, including rare clips from Cheyenne Frontier Days, the Pendleton Round-Up, and the Los Angeles Rodeo. It is filled with interviews with the performers, descendants, and others who contribute to the film's fascinating history of the development of Wild West shows and the history of women in rodeo. Individual women riders are profiled in depth, and their techniques, treatment, disappointments, wrecks, and successes are woven into the compelling film, which rests on a foundation of extensive research."

"I saw a preview of " Oh You Cowgirl" last night - What a treat !! It was awesome and left me wanting to see and hear more. Very entertaining - not like a documentary: it is a true life story of the Cowgirls. I loved the old footage and pic's - Unbelievable Cowgirls - I can't imagine doing what they did !!! And to hear comments from their voice about what they did and experienced first hand..........truly amazing.
I can't wait to see the " Oh You Cowgirl, LIVE! I understand there are more stories that will be revealed at the live show.
