EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Furnivall women's eight team in action on the serene waters of the River Thames in 1907. The team, members of the Womens Amateur Rowing Association, glide effortlessly through the water, their oars slicing through the surface with precision and power. Dressed in their stylish and practical rowing attire, the women exude determination and focus as they work in perfect harmony, their strong and graceful bodies moving in unison. The River Thames, a historic and iconic waterway, provides the idyllic backdrop for this scene, its calm and gentle current reflecting the tranquility and elegance of the sport of rowing. The team's boat, adorned with the Furnivall Rowing Club crest, cuts through the water with ease, leaving a gentle wake behind. Rowing was a popular and growing sport in the early 1900s, particularly among women, who were increasingly seeking opportunities for physical activity and social engagement outside the home. The Womens Amateur Rowing Association was established in 1876 to promote and regulate women's amateur rowing in the UK, and clubs such as Furnivall played a key role in fostering a thriving and competitive community of female rowers. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of women's amateur rowing during the Edwardian era, and the dedication, skill, and camaraderie that defined this dynamic and inspiring community.
