Reference excerpt

The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial is a monument to American suffragists. The memorial is located in Lorton, Virginia's Occoquan Regional Park and stands in close proximity to Occoquan Workhouse, a prison where 168 suffragists were once held during the 1910s Silent Sentinels demonstrations. At the workhouse, suffragists were treated inhumanely, and after a violent Night of Terror, the suffrage movement gained extra momentum. The organizers behind the memorial chose the location because of the historical significance of the Night of Terror. The memorial opened in May 2021. It was planned to coincide with the 2020 centennial of the ratification of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote in the U.S. The memorial's planners raised funds from individuals and Fairfax County. NOVA Parks, which previously held the memorial's land, pledged a free land transfer and permanent maintenance of the site. The National Park Service donated a section of White House fence, forged in the 1800s, to the memorial. Nancy Lyons Sargeant, president of the memorial association, described the memorial as an educational way of sharing history that could inspire "the need for vigilance in the quest for equal rights." During the dedication ceremony, Deborah Wake, the president of the Virginia League of Women Voters, spoke about the fight for voting rights continuing into the present. The memorial has 19 parts, covering the history of the suffrage movement from 1848 to 1920. It claims to be the first memorial to cover the whole period. There are three life-size bronze statues of prominent suffragists Alice Paul, Mary Church Terrell, and Carrie Chapman Catt. It also includes replica White House gates to commemorate the Silent Sentinels demonstrations and a 24-foot section of real White House fencing. A commemorative wall honors the names of all the suffragists jailed in 1917. Other stations were designed to explain court cases that rejected women's rights, the jailing of suffragists and the Night of Terror, nine suffrage campaigns that failed, and state ratification campaigns. A memorial garden at the monument highlights the suffrage-related colors of purple, gold, and white, which were used by the National Women's Party.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Turning Point Suffragist Memorial

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Turning Point Suffragist Memorial claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Turning Point Suffragist Memorial before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Turning Point Suffragist Memorial ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Turning Point Suffragist Memorial

In research: Turning Point Suffragist Memorial appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Turning Point Suffragist Memorial in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Turning Point Suffragist Memorial is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2021 establishments in Virginia, Buildings and structures completed in 2021, Buildings and structures in Fairfax County, Virginia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Turning Point Suffragist Memorial outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
