The artwork covers the entire pane, picturing five, 8-person rowing teams on the water. The eight rowers face left, with a ninth person (the coxswain) in the selvage of each boat facing the opposite direction. The stamps picture artwork by Nancy Stahl.

With the introduction of Title IX and other policies that fought against gender discrimination, women’s rowing eventually reached the point it’s at today. There has been an especially noticeable increase in participation at the college level, and it is an NCAA sport. 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). There are even instances when co-ed teams compete. In 2022, the United States Postal Service issued four Forever stamps honoring Women’s Rowing. They commemorate the obstacles early women rowers overcame as well as the impressive accomplishments of female athletes today.
