Photo collage of various women's athletic teams and players throughout the decade. The background is a turf field with a muted gray overlay. The images include: a black and white photo of the women's beanpot champions from 1981, a photo of BU women's golfer Hanako Kawasaki holding a golf club behind her back and wear a red visor; photo of Elizabeth Morse (CGS'14), left trying to keep possession of the ball with teammate Siobhan McCarthy (CGS'15) on defense during drills at BU women's lacrosse; photo of Stephanie Nasson (SAR'16) of the women's swim team mid-stroke, wearing a red cap and goggles; photo of Chiara Tibbitt (CAS'22) taking a shot during basketball practice; an old film photo of Jeanne Friedman and other women's rowing team members from the the mid-70s holding a trophy; black and white photo of Jennifer Lanctot O'Neill (Questrom'91), BU's first three-time female All-American, running with a relay stick; and photo of the BU women's soccer team in a team huddle. At center, an excerpt from Title IX is seen; it looks as if it has been torn from a page.
