Why the stamps were issued:  To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the passing of the civil rights law known as Title IX.

About the stamp designs:  Includes four different stamps with dark blue silhouettes of four female athletes.  They picture a runner, swimmer, gymnast, and soccer player.  All four are adorned with yellow laurel branches symbolizing victory.  The stamps were designed by artist Melinda Beck.

First Day City:  The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the US Department of Education in Washington, DC, an appropriate choice given that Title IX was passed as a clause in the Education Amendments of 1972.

History the stamps represent:  On June 23, 1972, Title IX was signed into law.  This law states “No person in the United States shall, based on sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”  Since then, many female athletes have benefited from scholarships and other programs that came about thanks to Title IX.

In 2022, the United States Postal Service issued four Forever stamps honoring the law’s 50th anniversary.  Each stamp pictures a different female athlete:  a runner, swimmer, gymnast, and soccer player.  These are some of the most popular and well-known sports for women, but there are many others that have benefited from Title IX as well.

The positive effects of Title IX are easy to see when you look at the last 50 years.  There are many more athletic – and educational – opportunities for women, including a significant increase in female STEM careers and university faculty positions.  In 1972, about 300,000 women and girls were involved in college and high school sports in the United States.  As of 2022, that number had risen to over 3.5 million.  Gender issues are still a challenge, but Title IX is one law that has taken one big step in the right direction.
