Rodeo cowgirls : an ambivalent arenaOliver, Audra Leah 17 March 1994 (has links)
The term "cowboy" was closely bound to American image long before the
1990s. Rodeo claimed the image of the cowboy from the earliest contests to the
latest and pledged itself to patriotism almost as early. This historical study was
conducted viewing rodeo as a subculture and relating women's role in the sport in
terms of both subculture and over-all American culture. Research substantiated
that the cowboy remained linked to the image of America at the time the paper
was researched and written. Rodeo attitudes toward cowgirls reflect the
ambivalence that cowgirls and American women in general found themselves
facing internally and externally. / Graduation date: 1994

Dolores Dyer: Women's Basketball and the American DreamRoberts, Jackie 12 1900 (has links)
Dolores Dyer played from 1952-1953 for the Texas Cowgirls, a barnstorming women's basketball team that provided a form of entertainment popular throughout the United States in that era. The story of Dyer's life demonstrates how a woman could attempt to achieve the American dream—a major theme in American history—through success in athletic competition. Dyer's participation with the Texas Cowgirls also provides a look into the circumstances that limited women's participation in professional sport during the mid-twentieth century. Women's sports studies, although some are very thorough, have gaps in the research, and women's barnstorming basketball is one of the areas often overlooked. In light of this gap, this thesis relies on a variety of sources, including primary documents from unpublished collections, archived materials, and original oral histories from several members of the Texas Cowgirls team. This thesis contains analysis of the socioeconomic factors that influenced Dolores Dyer's maturation into a professional basketball player, examines what the American dream meant to her, and evaluates the extent to which she achieved it. Overall, it constructs a social history that can serve as a foundational source for further study of women in sports during the twentieth century.
