About this product
Product Information
When the town of Pendleton, Oregon, held its first large-scale rodeo, it introduced a new kind of rodeo queen--not a traveling cowgirl performer but a young, middle-class woman from its own town. "Riding Pretty" examines the history, evolution, and significance of the community-sponsored rodeo queen, from the introduction of this new phenomenon at the 1910 Pendleton Round-Up to the advent of Miss Rodeo America in 1956, and places the main theme--connection of queens to community--within the context of the evolution of rodeo as a spectator sport and the changing concepts of gender relations in the American West. The model for community-sponsored rodeo queens that originated in Pendleton gradually spread to other rodeos throughout the West, giving young women the opportunity to participate both in rodeo and in their communities. From 1910 to 1956, the community-sponsored rodeo queen's role expanded, both in terms of her responsibilities and in terms of the community she represented, local, regional, and national. While each community adapted the rodeo queen phenomenon to suit the characteristics of its own celebration, the main characteristics of the role remained: the rodeo queen as a symbol of the local rodeo and as a metaphor for western women.

Reviews
"Laegreid does a solid job of presenting the rodeo queens, often the daughters or friends of influential white families, as a force, if only briefly, in the emergence of community. . . .Riding Prettypushes readers to consider unusual questions about western women and the choices some of them made for carving a space within the world of rodeo."-Anne M. Butler,Oregon Historical Quarterly, "Laegreid offers an interesting case study of how some women negotiated the boundaries of gender and sometimes even race within the mythic US West."-Choice, "This book fills an important place in the growing field of rodeo studies, a subfield of western history pursued by historians, economists, cultural anthropologists, folklorists, and gender and sports studies scholars. Renee M. Laegreid has produced a well-written, well-documented history."-Michael Allen, Journal of American History, "Laegreid does a solid job of presenting the rodeo queens, often the daughters or friends of influential white families, as a force, if only briefly, in the emergence of community. . . .

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
