Agnes Lennox (fl.1839-1841) chaired the Gorbals Female Universal Suffrage Association, founded in 1839 in Glasgow.

Career
While many women of that era typically identified themselves in relation to the Chartist men, often as wives or daughters, Lennox held a distinct perspective. She advocated for women to possess an independent voice in politics and actively petitioned for the adoption of Universal Suffrage. The Gorbals Female Universal Suffrage Association she led was part of the Chartist movement and worked to get women more involved. They didn't just talk about voting rights; they also taught each other on topics on politics and science.
