Before political correctness came into fashion the term "Mankind" stood for both sexes, male or female.

It is traditional to say "mankind" when speaking of the human race. The book of Genesis teaches that God first created man to His own image. Genesis 2:7 "then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature." God created Eve afterwards. Genesis 2:22 "And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man He made into a woman and brought her to the man."

Proto-Germanic *mann- "person" and sanskit "manu" mankind. It always meant both genders.
