Some Talk A Good Game About Empowered Women
...but point to Mary Sue Fanfic and weaponizing "the vapors" as examples of such.
Most of those would not be the least bit amused by today's birthday girl, who was a person of extraordinary talent in her sport, She was also a superb showman and entrepreneur who came from less than nothing and on her own merits rose to become one of the most famous women in the world in her day.
She was also a philanthropist, world traveler, businesswoman, actress and at one point tried to raise an all female unit of 50 women sharpshooters for the Spanish American War before McKinley said "No!"
She also empowered more than 15,000 women in the most profound way possible, by teaching them how to shoot.
On this day in 1860, Phoebe Ann Mosey, better known in later life as Annie Oakley and "Little Sure Shot", was born.
