Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the life and works of Dr. Florence Bascom, the first woman to work for the United States Geologic Survey. It explores her journey as she broke down the barriers of the male-dominated field of geology in the early 20th century, becoming a leading expert in petrology and a pioneer in the study of the Appalachian Mountains. The author highlights Bascom's significant contributions to the understanding of the geology of the eastern United States, particularly in areas such as the formation of minerals and the origins of different rock types.
