Sunday Stamps | W Is for White

Betty White (1922 - 2021), was an American actress and comedian. A pioneer of early television with a career spanning almost seven decades, she was noted for her vast number of television appearances, acting in sitcoms, sketch comedy, and game shows. One of her biggest roles is Rose on the sitcom The Golden Girls (1985–1992).

The stamp honouring White was issued on 27 March 2025. Phillip sent it on an envelope along with the first day postmark and the perfect postcard inside!

This is the W-entry for the A-Z Sunday Stamps I dedicate to Women on Stamps.

Sunday Stamps | V Is for Vote

Stamp (and first day postmark) issued in 2020 the U.S. Postal Service, which commemorates the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote.

And this is no the first time I have chosen this topic for Sunday Stamps.

When preparing this post, I received this postcard with a related stamp: on top, a stamp issued in 1970 for the 50th anniversary of the 19th Amendment:

The other stamp was issued in 1975, when the UN declared International Women's Day.
