Stephanie M. Camp (March 27, 1968 – April 2, 2014)[1] was an American feminist historian.

Her book, Closer to Freedom: Enslaved Women and Everyday Resistance in the Plantation South (2004), led to a new understanding of how female slaves resisted their captivity in the 1800s.

[3] She co-edited an anthology, New Studies in the History of American Slavery (2006), which was inspired by a symposium she organized at the University of Washington in 2002, called "New Studies in American Slavery", as well as a follow-up symposium organized by Herman Bennett at Rutgers University.

[2][5] In 2007, Camp and a graduate student at the University of Washington organized a protest about Woodland Park Zoo's Maasai Journey program, which featured Maasai cultural elements in a zoo setting; Camp argued that it referenced a time when African people were grouped together with animals at world fairs.

[2] Shortly before her death she had begun to work on a book about race and beauty.
