It Was Never A Dress: This Campaign Will Change How You See Bathroom Signs 1
On comparing the old and new signs, it is clear as day which one looks the better one.

Tania Katan is an extremely talented author, activist and a programmer who has made a fresh fun concept for women’s bathroom signs. With such an attempt, she wishes to change the assumptions and perceptions regarding women in order to especially highlight the strong, gutsy and sensitive gestures that women make on a daily basis.

Opposed to the usual skirt-wearing sign on the women’s bathroom, Katan created a sign that shows a woman sporting a cape along with a slogan that says ‘It Was Never A Dress’. Suffice it to say, the sign seems to show a superhero in action that is intent on proving a point to those who understand little about her powers that precede all others.

Look closer and you would realize that the sign was merely a silhouette of the superhero.

More on Katan herself, she is associated with software developer Axosoft as the Curator of Code. The basic idea behind the campaign #ItWasNeverADress was to support more and more women to set their step in the technology industry. It is quite clear that most people do not associate women with the field of technology in the modern day and it is surely about time somebody did something about it.
