In "The Arcadian Urn" by Paul Halas & Tom Anderson (BOOM U$ 399), a DuckTales story, I was much amused to note that Webby had a "Littlest Chickadee Field Guide," clearly a book like unto the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook, which tells her how the ancient Greeks got into Arcadia and translates Greek for her. As a believer in the Rosa duck universe, I know that such a thing could not be, because the JW Guidebook has a unique compilation of ancient-to-modern knowledge, from the library at Alexandria on out. But it bothers me as a feminist that nowadays no female could have access to the Guidebook, so it tickled me to see Webby with her Field Guide. Here's my question: Is this Field Guide unique to this story? Or has it appeared in other DuckTales stories? Or in non-DuckTales stories with the Chickadees? And by the way, is it generally known in the DuckTales world that Webby belongs to the Chickadees?

An interesting point you bring to the table. It's an unfortunate implication that the JW Guidebook would only be exclusive to males, but think about it; since Huey, Louie and Dewey are our protagonists whenever we get to explore the Junior Woodchucks' world, it's only natural we don't get much information on whatever the Chickadees do or the equipment they have. For all we know, they have their own version of the omnipresent Guidebook, albeit with a different title.
This may be indirectly supported by Rosa's "Guardians of the Lost Library", which reveals that the one who started it all concerning the JW Guidebook was Cleopatra, a "chick", as HDL do notice but try their best to ignore.
