It Was Never A Dress: This Campaign Will Change The Way You See Women’s Bathroom Signs Forever
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.

“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!”

Even when I was younger I always questioned the design of the doors-- what about the women who didn't like wearing dresses? This is cool.

I am of the generation that have to disagree. It was a dress. I have never felt threaten by such an image. I know who I am and am proud.

Yeah, I think this is silly. Maybe "It is more than a dress". But come on, it was a dress.
