Abstract
Background: The revision of a textbook covering prenatal and postnatal care provided our editorial team with an opportunity to critically examine language choices and incorporate gender-inclusive language.
Method: Guided by scientific evidence, professional recommendations, editorials, and a deep respect for the humanity of our clients, we undertook this task with humility and determination.
Results: This article describes the societal and clinical imperative for this change, the strategies and resources we used to make these changes, and our experiences in discussing these changes and coming to consensus with contributing authors.
Conclusion: Challenges are discussed, as well as recommendations for authors and editors. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].
