Biography In 1974, Cox worked with Harvey McQueen to co-edit the first anthology for schools of work by contemporary New Zealand poets, Ten Modern New Zealand Poets.

From 1995 to 1998 she was one of a team of three interviewers who collected oral histories of older lesbians who had grown up in New Zealand in the 1950s and 1960s. In 2000, she received a New Zealand History Research Trust Fund award to develop the project. In 2003, she contributed a chapter to Outlines: lesbian & gay histories of Aotearoa.
