 During the 1970s, feminists Casey Miller and Kate Swift created a manual, "The Handbook of Nonsexist Writing", on gender neutral language that was set to reform the existing sexist language that was said to exclude and dehumanize women.In the 1980s, many feminist efforts were made to reform the androcentric language.It has become common in some academic and governmental settings to rely on gender-neutral language to convey inclusion of all sexes or genders (gender-inclusive language).
