cowgirls
Female ranch hands
Cowgirls is the plural of cowgirl—a woman who works on a ranch herding cattle, or who performs in rodeos.
The term parallels cowboy but carries its own cultural associations, evoking images of Western independence and skill on horseback: The cowgirls competed in barrel racing.
In sexual slang, cowgirl refers to a position where a woman straddles her partner while facing them.
