Biography

Selina Huntington Bakewell Campbell (12 November 1802 – 28 June 1897) was an important woman in the Restoration Movement and the second wife of Alexander Campbell.

Campbell was instrumental in the planning of Bethany College with her husband.

In 1856, she became the first woman within the Disciples of Christ to call for funds to support foreign missions in her Millennial Harbinger article “To My Christian Sisters in Common Faith”. The article was written in support of Mary Williams, the sole missionary of the Stone-Campbell movement at the time. Campbell's efforts to promote the Gospel outside of preaching served as an example of how women could take on a more active role within the Disciples of Christ.

She later served as president of the West Virginia chapter of the Christian Woman’s Board of Missions.

In 1881, Campbell completed a book about her husband’s life, Home Life and Reminiscences of Alexander Campbell, which provides domestic and biographical details of Alexander Campbell.
