Annie Oakley died on November 3, 1926. Before that, on 1922, she was in a car accident that resulted in her hip and ankle being fractured. She had to wear a brace, but that did not stop her from shooting and hunting. But she still never fully recovered. when she dies, the doctor said she dies of "pernicious anemia". Frank was upset and stopped eating and caring. Then he joined his wife less than three weeks later on November 21.
Annie Oakley basically showed that gender does not matter in activities, and that even though a sport can be male dominant, women can be good at it as well, if not better. She was the first women to be apart of the Wild West show. Many people agreed that she was the best sharpshooter out there hands down. She "broke barriers" for women and opened up new jobs as soldiers in World War I for women. Her many accomplishments are still remembered today. She gave women a voice.\
