Annie Oakley
Phoebe Ann Moses, in yellow and black against red bands that sweep across the sheet like a circus banner. Wide hat with a star pinned to it, rifle held across her, boots planted.
Her line runs down the right side. She was not afraid to love a man, and not afraid to shoot him either. Both halves said in the same breath, which is the whole character.
Little Miss Sure Shot along the bottom, in blue, credited to Sitting Bull, who gave her the name. Down in the corner, a scatter of black holes shaped like stars. She put them there.
Wild Women of the Wild West. Three women who were turned into an act while they were still alive, painted as the show bills that did it. Real name in brackets under the stage name, the dates they got, and their own words somewhere on the sheet.
