Two history graduates discuss the life of Annie Oakley.
Annie Oakley, the famous sharpshooter, had a difficult childhood. Despite this, she was very successful in her later life, becoming one of the most notable members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. She travelled across America and Europe, performing for royalty and political leaders and awing them with her incredible shooting skills that she had developed as a child to provide for her family after the death of her father. Annie strongly believed in women being able to practice self-defence, and advocated for equal pay throughout her life. This episode discusses the legend that is Annie Oakley, and all that she achieved in her life as one of the iconic figures of American history.
