With the celebration of 50 years of Title IX in 2022, a group of Cal Women's Crew alumnae along with Cal alumni, coaches, faculty, staff, and students were inspired to create a living archive for the History of Women’s Rowing at Cal.

This history project is compiling a record of the ever-growing accomplishments of Cal Women’s crew that we hope will inspire others who follow in their wake. The triumphs achieved by women both on and off the water during and after their time at Cal are testimonies to their extraordinary talents, resilience, intelligence, athleticism, and persistence.
