This article is mainly a summary and review of the biography of Caroline Cox, subtitled A Voice for the Voiceless, by Andrew Boyd.

I would like to start with an extract from the foreword to the biography, written by Lord Tonypandy: ‘I regard Baroness Cox as one of the grLion Bookseat women of our generation — a 20th-century prophet. She has awakened the conscience of the House of Lords to the terrible challenges that face Christians in other lands.’

She was born in London in 1937, the daughter of Robert and Dorothy Love. Robert was an eminent surgeon who served in the Medical Corps in the First World War. They were a devout Christian family, but they didn’t practise family prayers. They were initially Presbyterian, but then joined the Anglican church, before Caroline was born.
