There is a new, open access anthology (=great teaching resource) about _Women's healthcare in ancient Mesopotamia in the first millennium BCE_ edited by Ulrike Steinert. search.worldcat.org/title/Women'... I would then combine this with the ancient medicine sourcebook www.ucpress.edu/books/medici...
