Women's rowing is the participation of women in the sport of rowing

Women have competed in rowing events as far back as the fifteenth century. When Beatrice d'Este visited Venice in 1493, a regatta was held in which fifty peasant women competed. Later, in the 19th century, Ann Glanville led a team of fisherwomen from Saltash in various regattas, becoming known as the champion female rower of the world.

The Leander Club, which is one of the oldest rowing clubs in the world, was opened to women in 1998 and appointed Olympic medallist, Debbie Flood, as its captain in 2012.
