Marie-Louise Paris (20 October 1889–28 April 1969), known as Mademoiselle Paris was a French engineer who founded the l'Institut électro-mécanique féminin (the Women's Electro-mechanical Institute) in 1925, which became the l'École polytechnique féminine (Women's Polytechnic) and is now the EPF School of Engineering.
Although her father died while she was young she managed to complete a bachelor's degree in science at the Sorbonne in Paris.
With their association and support, Marie-Louise Paris was able to legitimise the creation of a tertiary level college reserved for women.
In 1925, she arranged for the use of the amphitheater of the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM) to be used to house the l'Institut électro-mécanique féminin (Women's Electro-Mechanical Institute).
In 1933 Paris changed the name of the school to the École polytechnique féminine (Women's Polytechnic College) and the length of the course was extended from 2 to 3 years.
