Powder Puff and Spurs tells the story of the all-girl rodeos and the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA) in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It is a story of women who wanted to be rodeo contestants when almost no opportunities existed for them, and it is the story of how they established their own professional rodeo association. It tells how they produced and managed their series of all-girl rodeos, and brought women back into the professional rodeo arena, from where they had almost disappeared during the years of the Great Depression and the Second World War.
