How Emily Saved the Bridge: The Story of Emily Warren Roebling and the Building of the Brooklyn Bridge

Grades 2 - 4. This is a wonderfully illustrated biography about the brilliant Emily Warren, who, when her husband Washington Roebling, the chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, fell ill, almost single-handedly took responsibility for the enormous project, by learning everything she could about bridges. In her later life she went on to become a lawyer, focusing on equal rights for women.
