Bojující Baronka, jak je Caroline Coxová přezdívaná, vědomě zvolila případy většinou světěm ignorované a často vystavovala svůj život nebezpečí v Súdánu, Barmě, Horním Karabachu a v Rusku. Ať už šlo o kupování svobody pro otroky v Súdánu nebo o inspirování založení první lidské profesionální péče o sirotky v Rusku, vždy se snažila "mluvit za ty, kteří nemohli mluvit za sebe".

The Battling Baroness, as Caroline Cox is affectionately known, has deliberately chosen causes overlooked by the world at large, and had put her life at risk on a great many occassions in places as varied as Sudan, Burma, Nagorno Karabakh and Russia. Whether buying the freedom of slaves in Sudan or inspiring the establishment of Russia´s first humane, professional service for the care of orphans, she always seeks to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves".
