Architects: Emily Warren Roebling
Emily Warren Roebling (1843-1903) played a pivotal role in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. She was married to the Chief Engineer of the bridge and took charge of his work on the project after illness prevented him from continuing in his role. When the bridge opened in May 1883, she was the first person to cross it. She went on to study law and became an advocate for women’s equality in marriage.
