We have gathered some resources that are relevant to WookieeProject: Women or may be of interest to its participants. Although the project's scope is the women of Star Wars, we take a general stance of using inclusive language for all. The following links provide guidance on writing sensitively about gender, why and how to choose inclusive language, and specific style guides for other areas where help may be needed.

On Wookieepedia[]

• Forum:SH:Sexism and Misogyny on Wookieepedia
• Forum:SH:Describing enslaved individuals and avoiding objectification
• Forum:SH:Writing about gender and reproduction
• Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Pride/Resources - this has a wealth of resources, including a bunch of gender ones not included here because the Pride resource page is already so good! WP: Pride and WP:Women both work on improving representation on Wookieepedia, and often go hand in hand. They're sister WookieeProjects, if you will.
