Dr. Lucy Hagenow was a physician who operated an illegal abortion practice in Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Author Leslie J. Reagan indicated that Hagenow was linked to the deaths of abortion patients in 1896, 1899, 1905, 1906, 1907, and (after getting out of prison) 1926.[1]

The Homicide in Chicago Interactive Database links Hagenow with the abortion deaths of Lola Madison (1906), Nina H. Pierce (1925), Lottie Lowy (1925), Elizabeth Welter (1925), Bridget Masterson (1925), and Mary Moorehead (1926).[2]
