Introduction
Alternative medicine is never more topical than during a pandemic. Since it began, Covid-19 has brought forth anti-vaxxers, Covid-deniers, and questionable remedies in ways that parallel responses to earlier disease crises.

Integral to both are the discontent of women and the disruption…
