The Woman behind the Brooklyn Bridge

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 learn 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.
