Activist, author and programmer Tania Katan has come up with a novel way of brightening up mundane womens' toilet signs. Instead of the dress-wearing bathroom sign figure we're used to, Katan's signs feature a woman in a superhero-style cape, along with the slogan, "It was never a dress". A clever design, sure, yet what's the point of it?

Check out the cool imagery below…

She hopes her campaign will see more women be inspired to enter the tech industry, often thought of as a man's domain.
