The first woman to appear on a U.S. postage stamp was Queen Isabella in 1893. The first American woman honored on stamp was Martha Washington in 1902.https://facts.usps.com/first-woman-to-appear-on-stamp-1893/
Queen Isabella helped support Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage, and 1893 marked the end of a year-long celebration of the 400th anniversary of that voyage.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_on_US_stamps
