Ashley Price is a PhD student in the School of History at ANU. Her research examines women’s practices of antiquarianism and history-making in eighteenth-century Britain, bringing together approaches from history, art history, and literary studies. She is currently exploring the alternative or outsider ways in which genteel British women made history during this period, by centring their more ephemeral or material projects. Ashley's broader research interests include gender, the body, women’s intellectual culture, pedestriansim, dress, material culture, and the arts.

In 2024, her Honours thesis, Nymphs in Muslin: Women’s Wandering and the Embodiment of Classical Antiquity in Britain, c.1780–1820, received the Mick Williams Prize in History, the Professor Rae Frances AM Honours Thesis Prize in Women’s and Gender History, and the ANU Gender Institute Prize for Excellence in Gender and Sexuality Research.
