ANCIENT MEDICINE
I have to go back to this page. Not only are there links to Hippocrates, Galen, Soranus, and Pliny the Elder, but there are articles and bibliography pertaining to childbirth/contraception in antiquity.
Three of the linked articles are:
 The Thucydides Syndrome:Ebola Deja Vu?
Who Was Who Among the Royal Mummies
Laser-Quests-Unnoticed Allusions to Contraception in a Poet and a Princeps?"
-
MEDICINE AND ANATOMY From Womens' Life in Greece and Rome, by Mary Lefkowitz and Maureen Fant.
Includes links to Hippocrates, Aristotle, Galen and Soranus.
-
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MEDICINE
Hippocrates is considered the "father of medicine," but ancient medical records in Egypt go back to the second millenium B.C.
Ancient Egyptian Medicine, known by Egyptians as "the necessary art," has two main aspects: medical
and magical. The magical aspect deals primarily with disease and illness, which were believed to be caused
by divine acts of the gods. The medical aspect deals with surgery and anatomy, which involves the
preservation of the dead.

Homer, Vesalius, Galen, and Hippocrates. Essays on role/social status of doctor in Rome, gynecology (includes explanation of hysteria as
"wandering womb"), sanitation, and many others.
