The Cowgirls
Cowgirls were actually prominent during the Wild West but it appears that people often forget about that! These ladies were equally tough and wild, similar to their male counterparts, shooting guns and riding broncos. The cowgirls who are the most famous are probably Annie Oakley, Pearl Hart, and Calamity Jane.
