Annie Oakley

For some who might still think of Annie Oakley as Betty Hutton belting out "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" in the irrepressible film version of "Annie Get Your Gun", this fine website created as part of the American Experience series will add nuance and introspection to the real-life sharp-shooter and noted American icon. To begin, it is worth noting that Oakley, in spite of her burnished Old West image, lived her entire life east of the Mississippi. It is also interesting to note that while Oakley broke down some erroneous notions about the abilities of women, she opposed female suffrage throughout her life. On the site, visitors can learn more about Oakley through an interactive timeline, and also take a look at the gallery section, which includes some gloriously inventive promotional posters for Oakley and Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Finally, visitors can also browse through the special features, which include an interactive poll and a question and interview session with program participants on Oakley's attitudes toward women's issues of the day.
