Women in Columbus: Our Heritage
Who knew just how many awesome women have gone before us in Columbus OH! Here's just a sampling. What I find particularly cool is that Columbus girls were playing organized sports long before much of the country!
Anyone have more pictures of Columbus women they can share with us?
