Overall: @Thebiguglyalien: Good article. Though I am somewhat confused. While your source does say that she was the first, I'm king of getting confused with Florence Bascom somehow. Though I think that's mainly because the source provided doesn't state when she got her geology degree, whille Florence says she got it in 1893. So if you can supply a year then i'd approve.

As far as I can tell, some sources say first American woman while others say first woman at Stanford. I'm going to stay on the safe side, so I've removed the claim from the article and I'm retracting ALT0. Good catch! Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:54, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Other hook seems fine to approve. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I had an Easter egg hunt to find the hook in the reference. It is on page 136. Bruxton (talk) 18:43, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
