Photo of trees in mist with gray sky, with one tree prominently on the right and a couple trees less visible in the bottom left corner. It’s not black and white but almost appears so.

Admirable Women

@admirablewomen.bsky.social

By early 2027 (goal), the names of 72 notable women scientists, technologists, engineers, mathematicians, inventors, physicians, explorers & more will be added to a new golden frieze on all 4 sides of the Eiffel Tower directly above the 72 men listed since its original 1889 opening.

#WomenInSTEM

A close-up composite photograph of the Eiffel Tower's intricate iron lattice structure under a clear blue sky, focusing on the first-floor level where the historic frieze of 72 male scientists' and engineers' names (engraved by Gustave Eiffel in 1889) is prominently displayed in large gold letters on a horizontal band encircling the tower. The main image shows part of the tower's arched supports and the balcony railing. The inset zoomed-in detail at the bottom is an illustration showing the engraved band with the women's names to be added onto the Eiffel Tower with JAMIN, GUYOT, CURIE, and others in uppercase gold lettering on the iron beam. This image illustrates the current appearance of the Eiffel Tower's first-floor frieze and serves as a visual reference for the ongoing "Hypatia" project (announced in 2025–2026 by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and a commission including Femmes & Sciences association), which proposed adding a new matching strip of 72 women scientists' names (French or France-linked pioneers from the 18th century to modern times) directly above the existing frieze. The proposed additions—featuring luminaries like Marie Curie (already noted but emphasized for her legacy), Irène Joliot-Curie, Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat, Angélique du Coudray, Sophie Germain, and others—would be engraved in the same gold uppercase style, font size (about 60 cm high), and architectural placement to achieve symbolic gender equality and honor women's overlooked contributions to science, spanning fields from physics and mathematics to medicine and botany. As of January 31, 2026, the list has been unveiled and is awaiting final approvals for engraving (goal of Q1 2027). #EiffelTower #HypatiaProject #FemmesEtSciences

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."
