In collaboration with Anna Åbergsson, she was a leading force in the introduction of allotment in Sweden.

She was one of the driving forces behind the foundation of the National Association for Women's Suffrage.

With her combined membership in the upper-classes and her social democratic and radically socialistic views, she functioned as a uniting force between right wing and left wing women within the suffrage union.

At Fjällgatan in Stockholm, there is a museum called Borgarrummen (The Bourgeoisie Rooms) depicting a merchant class home from the mid-19th century, furnished by Anna Lindhagen and where she herself lived prior to her death.

Close by, there is a small park, Anna Lindhagens täppa, named after her.
