Isobel Ida Bennett AO 1984 was one of Australia's best-known marine biologists. She assisted William John Dakin with research for his final book regarded by many as "the definitive guide on the intertidal zone, and a recommended source of information to divers". Following Dakin's death in 1950, she saw the book through to publication in 1952, and she continued to revise and reprint it with a complete revision in 1980 until 1992. In later editions, she was listed as a co-author, then first author. She also wrote nine other books, and was one of the first women to go south with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE).
