In 1903, she was called “the most famous woman in New Jersey” and “one of the most noted women in the country,” yet today almost no one knows her name! Carol Simon Levin as "Emily Roebling" explains how she became her husband's assistant on the most ambitious engineering project of the age after he became ill and how she was eventually communicating with the engineers and suppliers so well that it was rumored that she had become the Chief Engineer herself. Celebrate Women’s History Month and come meet Emily Roebling!
