Ethel Cox (born 1888) was a British suffragette.
Along with Mary Aldham, she was found breaking windows at the house of the Home Secretary. On 11 October 1913, she attempted to throw leaflets promoting women's suffrage into a Royal carriage. Scotland Yard noted "she is said to be capable of committing any damage."[1] As reported in the criminal record office of the New Scotland Yard, on 16 May 1914, she was detained by police for causing damage to public art and public offices.[2][3] She was also known under the alias of Gwendoline Cook.
