EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a young Texan cowgirl in 1940. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee, this image showcases a female rodeo performer at the San Angelo Fat Stock Show in San Angelo, Texas. The woman's confident stance and determined expression epitomize the spirit of resilience and strength that defined Americans during the Great Depression era. Dressed in traditional Western attire, complete with a wide-brimmed hat, she stands against an outdoor backdrop that reflects the rugged beauty of the Southwestern landscape. This image offers a glimpse into both entertainment and daily life during this time period. The mid-action shot freezes her in motion, capturing her gracefulness as she performs for an enthusiastic crowd. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, events like these provided much-needed entertainment to uplift spirits amidst economic hardship. Russell Lee's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical prowess of this talented cowgirl but also her determination to succeed despite challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how individuals found solace and joy through their passions even during difficult times. As part of The Granger Collection's extensive archive, this print is an invaluable piece of American history that celebrates both women empowerment and our nation's enduring spirit.
