S2 E26: Emily Roebling
This week Lynn tells us about ANOTHER woman who took matters into her own hands. Told all the men what to do, played the role of father, mother, wife, husband, and caretaker. All while overseeing the building of this little bridge called the BROOKLYN BRIDGE!
Yep you heard it right, a woman was behind the erection of that stunning bridge.
Look how long it’s lasted…why do we continue to doubt the capability of women?
Thank you to our sources!!
