Webmistress Day
This is a day to celebrate women who make the internet work. They make websites so we can use the internet easily and enjoy it. This is to say thanks to them for their hard work. "Webmistress" is a word that has been around since the 1990s. It means a woman who works in technology. Technology is an area that used to be mostly for men. Today is a day to show how important it is to have more women in tech. We can do this by supporting women who work there and by teaching girls about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) when they are young. We also want to say that we want everyone to be able to use technology without any problems. This means we want there to be more women who can do the work that is needed.
