Yvonne Odic (6 July 1890 - 20 January 1983) was a French mechanical engineer. She is one of 72 women whose names have been proposed to be added to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Yvonne Justine Jeanne Charlotte Odic was born on 6 July 1890 in Harfleur, Normandy. She was one of five siblings and her father worked as a tax collector. Her sister Renée Odic-Bellot became an occular surgeon and another sister became a chemical engineer. In 1906 she won a national merit boarding school scholarship of 400 francs. Keen on mathematics from an early age, she studied the subject at the Institute of Electronics and Mechanics at the University of Nancy.
Alongside her university studies, she helped install X-ray equipment at the Bon-Pasteur Hospital and worked for the city of Nancy's meteorological service.
Odic earned her degree in mechanical engineering followed by a degree in aerodynamics at the Nancy Electrotechnical Institute, founded in 1900 (now the , or ENSEM).
Odic was working for Citroen at the start of World War One. She went on to develop special steels in one of the largest armament factories (usines de guerre) in Paris. In 1917, her employment as an engineer at a French shipbuilding company as reported in the British press.
She was concerned about the conditions of female workers in the factories, and offered them lessons in mathematics and rhythmic gymnastics.
Odic was a member of the constituent assembly of the National Union of French Mechanical Engineers following her marriage. In 1930, she was working for Breguet engines in Lille.
Odic later married Gabriel Jouanaud on 10 December 1918. Yvonne Odic died on 20 January 1983 in Saint-Tropez.
In 2026, Odic was announced as one of 72 historical women in STEM whose names have been proposed to be added to the 72 men already celebrated on the Eiffel Tower. The plan was announced by the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo following the recommendations of a committee led by Isabelle Vauglin of Femmes et Sciences and Jean-François Martins, representing the operating company which runs the Eiffel Tower.
