Things and animals would be "one" too.
Konie - one są w stajni.
Horses - they are in the stable
Książki - one stoją na półce.
Books - they are sitting on the shelf

In Polish there is only two genders: masculine-personal (męskoosobowy) and non masculine-personal (niemęskoosobowy).
Sailors, soldiers, teachers, managers, horsemen, engineers, national group, etc all fall under masculine-personal.
Everything and everybody else is non masculine-personal:
Women, children, cow, fish, books, trees, ghosts etc.
