The Engineer's Wife

Check out the full review at Kritters Ramblings
When you go back into history to read the stories they almost always focus on the men, so how refreshing to find a story where a woman can take center stage and who did and with her taking the lead something big happened - a bridge! Did you ever wonder how the Brooklyn Bridge came to be? Did you think that it was ahead of its time and an engineering feat of its time?!
I guess I had never really thought about bridges in general and never the hows behind the Brooklyn Bridge and how it came to be. Emily Warren Roebling married and dropped everything to follow her husband as he pursued the family business and his dream - building bridges. Watching her husband and her father-in-law, build a bridge or two, Emily learned a lot of things and when her husband needed her to take the lead she did and she not only innovated, but fought the authority along the way.
