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[1][2][3][4] during the 1910s Silent Sentinels demonstrations.
The memorial opened in May 2021.[1][2][3][4]
