Even though most girls during her time period rarely pursued a higher education, Emily loved science and math and was able to attend a school where these subjects were taught. She married an engineer, whose family built bridges. Soon Emily's husband is building the Brooklyn Bridge, incorporating new technology. Unfortantely, he becomes ill. Thankfully, Emily is intelligent and an eager learner. Although she does not receive credit, she is the one who oversaw the building of the Brooklyn Bridge!
An amazing story! I liked this story so much that I requested two other picture books about her!
Kids who love to build, who want to understand how things work, and who have an engineer mindset will love this book.
*Highly recommend.
