Synopsis
The issues for which Katharine Dexter McCormick (1874-1967) fought are as important today as they were seventy-five years ago: birth control, sex education, abortion, equal pay for equal work, and freedom from sexual harassment. She was a driving force in the battle for the women's vote, the formation of the Women's League of Voters, the creation of Planned Parenthood, and the development of the birth control pill. McCormick stepped forward when others were afraid to act, and her unflagging fidelity to the cause made possible the social, political, and scientific achievements that today mark the difference between misery and opportunity for millions of women. Although she was born into a world of privilege with many intellectual talents, McCormick's life was not without its significant challenges. Many of the issues to which she devoted her life remain controversial and are still under attack by their opponents. Due to her modesty, McCormick neither sought nor received public accolades during her lifetime. Nonetheless, her long-time crusades and achievements revolutionized the role of women, not only in America, but throughout the world. Scientist, humanitarian, and lifelong champion of women's rights, her determination and commitment provide a pattern to inspire women today and tomorrow., Timur Designs is an architecture consultancy firm established in 1991 by Yong Ai Loon with the aim of providing personal and direct services to the clients. To date, many projects have been successfully completed and these have been the results of good collaboration between clients and Timur Designs. In 1995, Chai Wai Kin joined the firm as a partner in an effort to provide a broader scope of work and to continue to improve the level of professional service to their clients. Prior to 1991, both partners worked together at another architetural firm where they helped win two design competitions for the Chinese High School and Hwa Chong Junior College and the Outward Bound Singapore on Pulau Ubin. Individually, they have also been involved in drawing up the Development Guide Plan for Changi Point, design development of the KK Women's and Children's Hospital as well as luxurious residences for the Royal Family of Brunei Darussalam. Since the formation of Timur Designs in 1991, a wide spectrum of projects have been completed, both in Singapore and abroad.
