Emily Warren Roebling: The Woman Who Built the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour
The Brooklyn Bridge was built between 1869 and 1883. It was longest suspension bridge of its day. The brainchild of John A. Roebling, an immigrant from Prussia, the bridge was to be the first of its kind. When Roebling died of tetanus in the first year of the project, his son, Washington, took over. A mere three years later, Washington developed the bends and was no longer able to physically work on the building of the bridge.

Through the help of his wife, Emily, Washington continued executing his plans of the bridge with her acting as his window to the outside world.

For the next 11 years, Emily worked on the Brooklyn Bridge. But how much of the project was her own ideas and innovations--and how much was her husband's?

Was her contribution merely her "faith and courage" as the plaque on the Brooklyn tower suggests? Or, did she in fact become something of a self-taught civil engineer herself? How much of her own knowledge and foresight did she give to the Brooklyn Bridge without Washington's help?

Let's talk about Emily Warren Roebling's major contribution to the Brooklyn Bridge before strolling across. We'll talk about her early life, her time as Mrs. Washington Roebling, and how much of the project she actually oversaw.
