Harriet Taylor Upton, Warren’s famous women’s-rights advocate and author, has been selected as one of four 2011 Great Ohioans by the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board and the Capitol Square Foundation.

Great Ohioan honorees and their achievements are chronicled in a permanent Great Ohioan exhibit that is part of the Ohio Statehouse Museum.

The exhibit presents recipients of the Great Ohioan award on a large touch-monitor. Visitors can then explore the life and accomplishments of each recipient.

The three other Great Ohioans selected this year are Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War general and president; William Moore McCulloch, Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, congressman and civil-rights advocate; and William Howard Taft, president and Supreme Court chief justice.
