cowgirl
Lasso-wielding horsewoman
A cowgirl is a woman who works on a ranch herding cattle, the female counterpart to a cowboy.
The term evokes the American West and its mythology of frontier independence.
In sexual slang, cowgirl refers to a position where a woman straddles her partner while facing them: She prefers cowgirl because she controls the pace.
