Elizabeth Hodgson (1814 – 26 December 1877) was a botanist and geologist whose research was focused on the Furness area of Lancashire (now present-day Cumbria).
[1] She lived in Ulverston, Lancashire and studied the geology of the Lake District.
Her first paper about the area was published in 1863 in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, and it was written about fossils found in iron ore mines near Ulverston.
[2][3] Hodgson also contributed papers to the Geologist, and was a member of the Botanical Exchange Club.
[4] After her health declined and she was unable to continue making scientific collections, Hodgson died on 26 December 1877, at 64 years old.
