The Woman behind the Brooklyn Bridge
1 John Roebling planned to build the Brooklyn Bridge before 1867. But he never really got started. In 1869, he died of an accident. The job fell to his son Washington, a master of construction. In 1872, Washington was injured in building the bridge. He could not walk any longer. He could only see the building of the bridge from his window. But his mind was still fresh. How could he get his ideas down to the workers?
2 That’s where Emily came in. Emily and Washington married in 1865. At that time John was planning the bridge. He sent his son around the world to study bridges. Emily went along with her husband and learnt much about bridge building. When John died and Washington became the boss, she taught herself more about bridge building. She wanted to help her husband with his new job.
3 Emily regularly came to the building site. She gave Washington’s instructions to the workers. And then she took questions back to him. However, as time went on, her role started to change. Soon, workers saw her as the new boss. As she had more and more knowledge, she became the chief engineer. She met with officials, discussed with other engineers, and instructed the workers.
4 Emily also helped to solve problems outside the building site. Some people once questioned her husband’s ability to head the bridge building. And the American Society of Civil Engineers would think about replacing him. Emily went to meet the group. She gave a speech in defense of her husband. The group finally decided to keep him on the job.
5 It took up 14 years to build the bridge. For 11 of those years, Emily was the one in charge. The bridge finally opened on May 24,1883. She was one of the first people to cross the bridge. Emily never planned on becoming an engineer, but she turned out to be a great one.
A. How did Emily pick up bridge building?
B. What happened to John and Washington?
