| #13 Except it’s a photo, so perhaps an actress? Duh, time travel! Somewhat more seriously... you have a good eye, tw. I would have guessed some kind of historical re-enactment, but looking closer, she appears a bit too scruffy for that. My compliments to the costumers who, judging by the results, obviously don't work for a government agency. |

| #11 Linen shirt with a broad collar and flipped up cuffs, short jacket with shoulder detail, closed with lacing rather than buttons, probably beeches tucked into high boots — both dirty — oooold felted wool hat… she’s wearing what looks like clothes outgrown by a brother in the 17th century, which would match the pistol she’s polishing. Except it’s a photo, so perhaps an actress? |

| #9 Should read 1850. Although to go unarmed in the Panama today is foolish. |

| #8 My great great grandmother crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1950 with five children in tow. Tucked into her belt was a pistol her husband who waited for her in San Francisco taught her to shoot. When she arrived she soon met the wife of John C. Fremont, who founded the Republican Party in San Francisco, and his wife could shoot as accurately as any man. |

| #7 Flintlock pistol or a rifle with very short butt-stock, and a very long barrel? |

| #6 If somebody points a gun at me I think I must assume he/she/they can and will pull the trigger. Then I'd be dead no matter what sex or sexual persuasion the shooter was. The gun doesn't care. Didn't care in the Old Wild West and doesn't care today. But regardless of the hat, sleeves or rough and ready appearance, this girl is not unattractive. |

| #1 So you Do know of what you POSTED = this "I shall not consent to be tried under a law in which my sex had no voice in making.” (Pearl Heart) Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, Belle Starr, Pearl Hart: Toting guns, these women of the Wild West shot down the view that life as a female pioneer was about cooking, sewing, cleaning, and caring for children was the sole provence of pioneer women. Women of the American wild west had to be a resourceful lot to cope with the elements that surrounded them: the harsh conditions, lawlessness and living in an age where there were few amenities. Some women took to the gun as readily as any man and others made lives for themselves apart from dignified society." - RESOURCE FOR THE QUOTE - NOW - R D-S & T-P - we will await the response of the good readers of your platform -- The readers are out, their minds sharp, so in this small portion today - we can await their view - with this I smile 🙂 |
