Phenomenal Piqua Ladies
Many of Piqua's early social services and reform movements were started by women. Women established Piqua's first community organization, the Piqua Female Bible Society. Local reform movements, such as the Temperance movement, adult education, and community-wide welfare, all began because of women who demanded a better life for their neighbors and community.
