Edith Gwendolyn Nally is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and affiliated faculty in the Classics Program and the Race, Ethnic, and Gender Studies Department at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. 

She studies ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, and is heavily influenced by feminist philosophies, epistemology, and the philosophy of love, sex, and gender. She also has significant interests in race in antiquity, reproductive ethics, and motherhood.

She is currently co-editing the collected Ancient Women Philosophers of Greece and Rome, the first comprehensive modern scholarly edition devoted to the writing, ideas, and biographies of ancient Greek and Roman women philosophers. She is also working on a book about Plato's erotic dialogues and care ethics, and is co-authoring a monograph, Hecuba: Euripides' Politics of Care, which looks to ancient stagings of Hecuba for insights about motherhood and caregiving. 

Her coedited volume Believing Ancient Women: Feminist Epistemologies for Greece and Rome (Edinburgh 2023, with Megan Bowen and Mary Hamil) deploys feminist epistemological frameworks to critically reinterpret Greek and Roman literary, philosophical, and material sources. 

Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Conversation, and Philosophical Salon (LA Review of Books).
