"We [LWVO] wrote a letter to the Ohio Supreme Court in support of their upcoming Women in Law exhibit, featuring the majestic portrait of Maureen O'Connor, the first woman to serve as Cheif Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court.  But we think visitors shouldn't have to go to the basement to see representaions of women's leadership, so we shared some additional ideas.
