I have Dr. Winstead's "old" book, copyright 1969, and just skimmed
through it. She seems to just use the terms "female" "mother"
"neutered female", etc. I saw no reference to jills, gibs, etc. but
will admit that I only skimmed chapters that I thought might have the
terminology.

I also have her newer book (the big one), copyright 1995, published
long after her death, I believe. I didn't bother looking for the
terms in that one since it's so recent. I had forgotten all the
great pictures in that book.

And, that's the extent of my research for the evening <g>.

Oh! And speaking of books.....Just recently found Dr. Karen's book
in the "used" section at Amazon. I've been meaning to buy it and
just never did. This is the first time I've seen a used one for
sale. Saved about $20 and it's supposed to be in excellent
condition. Also got the Fox book that way some time ago, and it was
in brand new condition. Saved $20-30 on that one. It's a great way
to pick up the more expensive books. Of course, I managed to order a
few more books along the way <g>.
