"heightweight" R-dataset data-structure?

Dear all, I found the following paragraph in R graphics cookbook:

library(gcookbook) # For the data set
ggplot(heightweight, aes(x=sex, y=heightIn)) +
geom_dotplot(binaxis="y", binwidth=.5, stackdir="center")

I like the plot, and I would like to build my own plot using my own data.

But I didn't find the original dataset 'heightweight', although it is free and should be available somewhere.

I found only this link: https://rdrr.io/r/#datasets, but it didn't help me.

I need to see a structure of heightweight-dataset to make my own dataset from my data.

Please, help me! Natalia
