Secret Engineer: How Emily Roebling Built the Brooklyn Bridge
Rachel Dougherty, illustrated by Rachel Dougherty
Set around the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, this book tells of a woman who helped her engineer husband after he became ill. The bridge took nearly fourteen years to build, and in 1883 she made its first crossing, carrying a rooster on her lap. Whimsical art and technical drawings accompany the account of her role in completing the engineering project.
