Gustave Eiffel decided to adorn the first floor of his tower with 72 male scientists. Now, these 19th-century scientists are set to be joined by 72 female peers.
A multidisciplinary commission presented the mayor of Paris with a list of 72 names of women who will join the male scientists whose names are inscribed on the frieze of the ‘Iron Lady.’
