Carol Simon Levin impersonates Emily Warren Roebling to tell the story of the woman who helped manage the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the most amazing technological achievements of its time. Later she helped design the family mansion in Trenton, studied law and organized relief for returning troops from the Spanish-American War. At her death, 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!
