What is a Modern Western Woman

By Denae Beedlow

From mommas of the future rodeo generation to the ladies leading the west by adding their own expertise to the agricultural business side of things, a Modern Western Woman can manifest into several interpretations . If you ask the respond with older generations this question, they may a silent stare. Some might think “Western Lifestyle , ” is a one-way vision. Reimagining the lifestyle in a way the younger generation perceives these terms is difficult for part. I know for a fact it is for my blood line. I come from the Schertz Farms bloodline. A long line of generational harvest farmers and cattle ranchers. When I use the terms “Ranchy” and “Punchy,” I get looks of question and confusion. When you ask members of the western community these days this question, you’ll get a variety of answers. “

Modern Western” is just one of many slangs my generation and younger generations like to use. It creates a space for the ones who have the call of the wild, passion for the industry, flair for the fashions and many other talents plus loves of the rural ways.

“A woman who represents the western lifestyle with style, morals, elegance and grit,” as spoken by Lauren Vinson, cowboy wife and momma.

A ‘

Modern Western Woman

’ is just that. She’s a lady that has class, can handle a buck, puts her beliefs in the Lord, and provides the table with many aspects of the western ways. She chases her passions and is never afraid to be bold.

When focusing on fashion, I would say a lady who describes herself with these terms is a lady that has some daringness to her style. In some way, she will add the element of surprise to her look and outfit. She is brave with design and unique with her efforts to combine pieces of the west and modern industries.

Modern Western is more than just two adjectives put together to create a buzz. It’s a lifestyle.

YAs Marijka Hunsaker, western fashion mogul, says, “A modern western woman is someone who doesn’t necessarily fit the status quo of traditional western, but one that has found a place in the western world and is educating others around her about the industry in her own way!”

If you want to center your thoughts with another graceful lady, you might take the words of Hannah Hogner more to heart.

“A modern western woman these days, is so many things. We all come from different walks of life. You have your ranchers, farmers, rodeo girls, and just everyday cowgirls. We are a wide variety who can rock a pair of cowboy boots to get the job done or rock a pair of heels for a fun girl’s night! We are not scared to get our hands dirty and if need be, wear the heels to do it. A modern western woman is adaptable to her surroundings, a woman with determination and has a never give up attitude. Her faith, family, and her friends are what drive her to be the best woman she can be. That to me, is a modern western woman.”

The fact of the matter is, we ‘Modern Western Women’, are the new Belle Starr’s of this lifetime. Minus the crime, in some way, we all embody her essence of the 1800’s.
