First Day Cover Celebrates Decades of Women's Rowing
This First Day Cover features the 2022 Women's Rowing stamps, a special cachet created by former UK Women's rower Tonia Williams, a First Day of Issue Cancellation for the stamps, and historic information on the back of the cover. It's a fitting tribute to these impressive athletes and the sport as a whole. Measures 8.5 x 11" and will look great in a picture frame or one of our protective pocket pages like this. Of course, if you're already a First Day Cover collector, your album is the perfect place for this cover! Order yours today.
Discover More About Women's Rowing
Women's rowing has been around since the early 19th century, with the first national events held in the early 1900s and the first international events in the 1950s. Finally, in 1976, women's rowing events were added to the Olympic program, though the distance was only 1,000 meters, half that of the men's races. With the introduction of Title IX and other policies that fought against gender discrimination, women's rowing eventually reached the popularity it experiences today. Thanks to advocates like Penny Chuter (Great Britain), Ingrid Dieterle (Germany), and Nely Gambon de Vos (Netherlands), women now race the same distance as men (2,000 meters). The 2022 Women's Rowing stamps commemorate the obstacles women rowers have overcome and the impressive accomplishments of female athletes today.
Cachet Designed by Artist and Retired Rower Tonia Williams
The cachet artist for this First Day Cover was a rower herself. Tonia Williams is retired these days, but once rowed for New Zealand-Great Britain. In 1988, she was a member of New Zealand's first women's eight to race internationally, and in 1993, she won the World Rowing Championship in the lightweight women's four along with Jane Hall, Alison Brownless, and Annamarie Phelps. In 2013, Williams created o4som Art, combining her passions for rowing and art into one. To read more about Tonia Williams, click here.
