There is no area of WordPress that is untouched by the contributions of Woman. In honor of International Woman’s Day tomorrow, my friend Mika is participating in “A Day Without Women”. I support her and every other Woman of WordPress that chooses to do the same.

The theme for 2017’s International Woman’s Day is “Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030”. While Planet 50-50 ignores the gender non-binary members of the world, it’s a phrase that aims to seek equal representation, recognition, and opportunity.

For my fellow men of the WordPress community, I encourage you to make sure a woman who’s work you appreciate is known tomorrow. Without the contributions of woman, WordPress would be worse off.
