The first woman to enter a rodeo bronc-riding contest was Bertha Kapernick (Blancett after marriage) in 1904, after which women's events were included in subsequent major rodeos. Since she was competing for prize money in rodeos, one might call her the first "professional rodeo cowgirl". In 1912, Fannie Sperry was invited to compete in the world championships in Calgary for a $1,000 prize along with other women (including Bertha Kapernick (Blancett)).

Although Bertha might have been the first rodeo pro, Annie Oakley seems to have started the idea of female western cowgirl performers in the 1880's.
