pardon my intrusion but; while i am no fan of certain members of their staff, there is one place i have noticed that is helpful, friendly and no condesending to the enemy-sex ( ) and that is BlackWing Shooting Center up in Delaware.
the guy who "runs" the rental counter, Rick, is a super, helpful, professional and friendly kinda guy. His professionalism & customer service skills are the biggest reason I go there.
In Springfield , Ohio there is Lauhorner Range. they are women friendly , have women training classes with some women instructors, women employees etc.. On sat. and sun. after 5 pm it is couples night. The woman shoots free and the man pays half price ( about $5.50 for both)
They have a state of the art indoor facility, check them out.
Tuesday night is Ladies night at the Midwest Gun Club in Canal Fulton from 6-8 PM. There are number of couples who have become regular shooters those nights as well as a number of ladies who come in to shoot by themselves. There also seems to be allot of families and kids that shoot on the weekends.
I shoot at Lauhorners fairly often. It is a great place to shoot and is "woman friendly". I got my CCW there and the class was about half women. They have Women on Target classes, as well as Women Home Defense classes. I also enjoy shooting their Live-fire simulator. This gives you an opportunity to shoot your own gun in shoot-don't shoot scenerios. They really make you stop and think. The range is closed on mondays during the summer. On weekends, the second shooter is free on one lane after 5PM. On tuesday and wednesdays members get a discount. I enjoy the range and the people.

New Albany is a good range, and while being a guy I wouldn't know for sure It seems lady friendly to me. They have at least 1 female employee that I know of (thou to be fair she is the owners daughter) but I've seen many women shoot there and the classes I've taken there have had a couple women each in them as well.
Personally I just wanna know where all these women shooters were at before I found my current GF lol. My GF wouldn't even hug me for the longest time after I started carrying concealed. To be fair shes not that paranoid of guns, just of glocks with their only external safety being on the trigger.

I highly recommend Black Wing in Delaware. I took a very liberal anti-gun lady attorney there.
One of the Black Wing female staff took the time needed to teach my friend how to safely handle, load, aim and fire a weapon. She had adamantly refused to learn from a male trainer.
Both ladies were pleased with the results of this successful learning experience. Additionally, another liberal was nudged into the path of light and understanding…
Almost everytime I am at NASR there is a female on the range.
Her name has escaped me, but the employee you mentioned is also an NRA certified instructor. She is a great girl and helped during my CCW course.
