In 1858 Pochin unsuccessfully tried to get John Bright to introduce a women's right to vote clause into his Reform Bill.

[3] On 14 April 1868 the Manchester National Society for Women's Suffrage which had been formed the year before held its first public meeting.

The meeting was at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester and the three main speakers were Lydia Becker, Anne Robinson and Agnes Pochin.

[2] Pochin moved on to the Women's Emancipation Union in 1892 and over the next decade she made donations to local and national committees.

[2] Pochin died in 1908 and she was buried in the mausoleum known as "the POEM" in the grounds of Bodnant Garden, where she had lived since 1874 in the Conwy valley.

Her name and picture (and those of 58 other women's suffrage supporters) are on the plinth of the statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square, London, unveiled in 2018.
