註釋"When Emily Warren married Union Army engineer Washington Roebling, she had no idea that she would become the 'silent builder' of a wonder of the modern world. But when injury and illness killed her father-in-law and sidelined her husband, she pushed construction of the Brooklyn Bridge to its completion in 1883. Her accomplishments in a field dominated by men have inspired young women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The third edition of Silent Builder: Emily Warren Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge by Dr. Marilyn E. Weigold, Professor Emeritus of History at Pace University, chronicles the growing recognition of Emily Roebling far beyond Brooklyn and New Jersey. The volume's new final chapter traces her emergence from relative obscurity to become a nationally and internationally acclaimed figure for whom a street, a public school and a magnificent new plaza beneath the Brooklyn Bridge were named in the first quarter of the 21st century"--Back cover.
