Women Build Bridges began not as a project, but as a response. Years ago, someone challenged me during a heated debate about gender equality. They asked a single question:
“Name a bridge a woman has built.”
That was their whole argument.

At the time, I didn’t have an answer. It’s not that the stories didn’t exist. It was because they weren’t being told.

Years later, I came back to that moment — not out of spite, but out of quiet determination. I’ve spent 25 years in operations and digital transformation. I’ve seen how often women build systems, teams, and solutions behind the scenes. They build bridges — literally and metaphorically — and rarely get the credit.

This site is my way of surfacing those stories. Women helped finish the Brooklyn Bridge. They also built London’s Waterloo Bridge during wartime. There are countless others whose names history overlooked. Women Build Bridges is a space to document and honor their contributions.

I’m not a historian or an engineer. I’m just someone who knows that visibility matters — and that stories, like bridges, connect people.
