Tania Katan, an
activist, author and programmer, created a fun new concept for bathroom
signs that she hopes will “shift perceptions and assumptions about women
and the audacious, sensitive, and powerful gestures they make every
single day.” Instead of the dress-wearing bathroom-sign figure we’re
used to, her sign features a woman in a superhero-style cape with the
slogan, “It was never a dress.”
Katan, the Curator of Code at software
developer Axosoft, created the #ItWasNeverADress campaign to encourage
more women to enter the tech industry – one that many people do not
associate with women.

Creator Tania Katan aims to bring more women into the world of software development
She hopes it will encourage more women to enter the tech industry, which many don’t associate with women
“In science, technology, arts, mathematics, politics, houses of worship, on the streets, and in our homes, insightful women are often uninvited, overlooked, or just plain dismissed”
“It Was Never a Dress will foster necessary conversations, vital voices, and images from around the world that honor ALL women. When we see women differently… we see the world differently!”
