Author: Paul Lief Rosengren
Book 12 of IEEE-USA’s Famous Women Engineers in History series looks at trailblazer Emily Roebling’s contributions to the Brooklyn Bridge. Emily’s accomplishments were nothing short of amazing — especially since she learned engineering “on the job” (she had no formal engineering education or mathematics beyond high school). She helped accomplish what the New York Times describes as “one of the greatest architectural feats of the 19th century” — and she accomplished it at a time when women could not vote, hold office, sign contracts, or own their own property.
