EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the London University Women's Rowing Eight Team in action on the River Thames during a winter training session in January 1956. The team, dressed in short sleeved rowing tops and shorts, are shown with determined expressions as they powerfully pull their oars through the water. The serene backdrop of the Thames River, with its gentle ripples and reflections of the surrounding buildings, adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The London University Women's Rowing Team was a prominent and successful part of the university's sports program during the 1950s. Rowing was a popular and prestigious sport for women during this era, and the team's dedication and hard work paid off with numerous victories and accolades. This photograph is a testament to the team's commitment and the camaraderie that comes with being part of a team. The 1950s were a significant time in the history of women's education and sports in the UK. Women were gradually gaining more opportunities to pursue higher education and participate in sports, and rowing was one of the sports that saw a surge in popularity among women during this period. This photograph is a valuable record of this history, capturing a moment in time when a group of determined women came together to pursue their passion for rowing and their education at London University.
