Horse girls : recovering, aspiring, and devoted riders redefine the iconic bond / edited by Halimah Marcus. Harper Perennial, 2021. Call #: 636.1 H8172 Subjects Horsemen and horsewomen -- Biography.   Horses -- Anecdotes.   Horses -- Social aspects.   Human-animal relationships -- Anecdotes.   Women -- Identity. ISBN:  9780063009257 (pbk) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  290 p. ; 21 cm. Contents:  I don't love horses / T Kira Madden -- Horse girl : an inquiry / Carmen Maria Machado -- Breyerfest or bust / Laura Maylene Walter -- Hungry and carefree / Alex Marzano-Lesnevich -- Playing safe / Courtney Maum -- The shrinking mountain / Nur Nasreen Ibrahim -- Turnout / C.

Summary:  "Featuring some of the most striking voices in contemporary literature -- including Carmen Maria Machado, Pulitzer-prize winner Jane Smiley, T Kira Madden, Maggie Shipstead, and Courtney Maum -- Horse Girls reframes the iconic bond between girls and horses with the complexity and nuance it deserves. And it showcases powerful emerging voices like Braudie Blais-Billie, on the connection between her Seminole and Quebecois heritage; Sarah Enelow-Snyder, on growing up as a Black barrel racer in central Texas; and Nur Nasreen Ibrahim, on the colonialist influence on horse culture in Pakistan. By turns thought-provoking and personal, Horse Girls reclaims its titular stereotype to ask bold questions about autonomy and desire, privilege and ambition, identity and freedom, and the competing forces of domestication and wildness."--Publisher.
