About Raising Up Ohio's Women
From the publisher's feed
Raising Up Ohio's Women shares the stories of some of the most influential women from Ohio. This series honors the accomplishments that women have made in the arts, sciences, mathematics, education…
and activism to name a few. Each segment highlights a different woman's achievements toward bettering Ohio and our world. "Raising Up Ohio's Women" is made possible, in part, by a generous gift provided by the Principle Family Action Fund, along with friends of Toledo Rotary and Toledo Symphony, in honor of Sue and Doug Neckers who were fully committed to public service.
