Quotes
- “The fascination of any search after truth lies not in the attainment, which at best is found to be very relative, but in the pursuit, where all the powers of the mind and character are brought into play and are absorbed by the task. One feels oneself in contact with something that is infinite and one finds joy that is beyond expression in sounding the abyss of science and the secrets of the infinite mind.”
- “It is an interesting manifestation of the attitude of certain public critics toward change, that when the collegiate training of women was first on trial there were clamorous complaints that the health of young women was being wrecked; now the same class of public critics are loudly complaining that college women are "Amazons."”
- “I have always claimed that there was no merit in being the only one of a kind.... I have considerable pride in the fact that some of the best work done in geology today by women, ranking with that done by men, has been done by my students.... these are all notable young women who will be a credit to the science of geology.”

Florence Bascom (Williamstown, 14 luglio 1862 – Williamstown, 18 giugno 1945) è stata una geologa e docente statunitense, la seconda donna negli Stati Uniti a conseguire il dottorato in geologia e la prima donna a ricevere un dottorato all'Università Johns Hopkins. È stata anche la prima donna assunta all'United States Geological Survey. Nota per le sue scoperte innovative in questo campo e per aver guidato le future generazioni di geologhe, venne considerata una pioniera della geologia, la "prima donna geologa di questo paese".
