Amanda L. Aikens (née, Barnes; May 12, 1833 – May 20, 1892) was an American editor and philanthropist. During the American Civil War, she was one of the noted women workers, and it was through her public appeals that the question of the national soldiers' homes was agitated. She raised money in Wisconsin for the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore for the purpose of having women admitted on equal terms with men. She took an active interest in all charity and educational work in her state. Aikens was instrumental in founding the Wisconsin Industrial School for Girls, and was a member of the Humane Society, the Woman's Club, and the Athenaeum. In 1887, she began to edit the "Woman's World" section in the Evening Wisconsin.
