🤠This Week in the West

📢 Episode Summary:

Her talent and grit made her the first woman many Americans called a “cowgirl.” Performing alongside names like Will Rogers, Mulhall redefined the role of women in rodeo and Western entertainment. She became a headliner at events across the U.S. and abroad, competing at the inaugural Calgary Stampede and even leading her own rodeo troupe—Lucille Mulhall’s Roundup—at a time when few women owned or managed such enterprises.

Mulhall’s legacy extended beyond the arena. Her independence and tenacity paved the way for generations of women in rodeo and the Western arts. Though her life ended tragically in 1940 near her family ranch.
