Lady Wing Shot

Winner of the Blue Lynx Prize, Lady Wing Shot is an exploration of the life of famed sharpshooter Annie Oakley, who was called both the "Peerless Lady Wing Shot" and "Little Sure Shot," a name given to her by Sitting Bull. The collection illuminates the woman behind the mask of fame and connects her to both her own historical context and the present by exploring how her exploits challenged notions of femininity, white supremacy, and American gun culture.
