Lady Flora Marjorie (Marnie) Bassett (1889-1980), historian, was born on 30 June 1889 at the University of Melbourne, daughter of David Masson, professor of chemistry, and for a while was his secretary. During the First World War she travelled to England for war work. She never formally studied for a degree, but was actively involved in Melbourne university circles and was an accomplished researcher and lecturer, later awarded honorary doctorates by Monash University and the University of Melbourne. She married Walter Bassett (later Sir Walter) in 1925; as her three children grew older, she resumed her research and writing. She was a foundation fellow (1969) of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. She died at home in Armadale, Melbourne, on 3 February 1980.) https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/bassett-lady-flora-marjorie-marnie-9448
