==Early life==
Dixie Selden, named for the song ''Dixie Land'', was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was one of three children of John Roger Selden and Martha Peyton McMillon Selden.〔〔 Her parents had ancestors from northern states, New York and Connecticut, who fought during the Revolutionary War, and her father fought for the Union during the American Civil War,〔 but they were sympathetic to the concerns of the South (aka ''Dixie'').〔〔 When she was two years old, the family moved to Covington, Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.〔 Dixie Selden was left an only child when two of her siblings died when they were infants. Her parents indulged her artistic abilities,〔 including building her a studio. They took her on two tours of Europe in 1878 and 1882 to 1883.〔
Her parents were active in Cincinnati and Covington social circles and organizations, including The Shakespeare Society. Her mother, Martha, was an associate member of the Covington Art Club and a member of the local literary society, the Culture Club.〔
