matteaem 's review for:
The Engineer's Wife
by Tracey Enerson Wood
Ugh this book. I had high hopes for a good read about an amazing woman, but no this was awful. I am all for making history accessible and interesting, but WHY WHY WHY did we have to completely make things up!? The author made Emily seem flighty and superficial and maybe she was, but I highly doubt a woman who worked as an engineer 100 years before a majority of engineering schools accepted women would be this absurd. Thankfully the author does admit to making a lot up using the excuse that she couldn't find more information, but maybe use the info you have to weave an interesting story instead of defaming a woman with a made up affair and other wild stories.
