Gerry Bracewell (born Ethel Lovell, 1922) was a pioneering Canadian rancher, conservationist, and the first licensed female hunting guide in British Columbia. Known as the 'Annie Oakley of the Chilcotin,' she spent over 75 years living and working in the Chilcotin backcountry, where she operated a ranch and guide outfitting business. Her memoir, 'Gerry, Get Your Gun,' details her life as a trailblazing woman in a male-dominated industry.
