On a warm spring day in 1883, a woman rode across the Brooklyn Bridge with a rooster on her lap.

It was the first trip across an engineering marvel that had taken nearly fourteen years to construct. The woman's husband was the chief engineer, and he knew all about the dangerous new technique involved. The woman insisted she learn as well.

When he fell ill mid-construction, her knowledge came in handy. She supervised every aspect of the project while he was bedridden, and she continued to learn about things only men were supposed to know:

math,
science,
engineering.

Women weren't supposed to be engineers.

But this woman insisted she could do it all, and her hard work helped to create one of the most iconic landmarks in the world.

This is the story of Emily Roebling, the secret engineer behind the Brooklyn Bridge, from author-illustrator Rachel Dougherty.

Great way to organize spices and save space
Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 3 Pack
This pull-out spice rack organizer has been a great addition to my kitchen. It fits well in the cabinet and makes it much easier to see and access all of my spices instead of digging through cluttered shelves. Each tier holds a good number of jars, and the sliding mechanism works smoothly. The racks feel sturdy, and installation was straightforward with the included hardware. I like that it keeps everything upright and organized, and the black finish looks clean and modern inside the cabinet. Overall, this set does exactly what it’s meant to do and makes cooking more efficient. If you have the cabinet space for it, it’s a very practical and well-designed organizer.

Pleasantly surprised!
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack, Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
I am pleasantly surprised with these little racks! They were easy to assemble and install. I used the sticky tape which seems quite secure. I put them all the way to the back of my cabinet and they pull out far enough to see what I have! They are attractive enough and the organization they afford is paramount!

Nice sliding spice organizer - easy to install
Color: Clear, Size: 2 Pack
This is a nice, solid sliding spice organizer. It's not difficult to assemble - just use a rubber or plastic mallet (small) to tap the rods into the molded shelf pieces. You'll also need to attach the bottom bracket to the surface of the shelf to prevent it from tipping when you slide the shelves out. Nicely organizes our spice cupboard!
