Cox performed more of a ceremonial role during her father's political career than did her younger sister Julie Nixon Eisenhower, accompanying him to many campaign stops and, after his presidential inauguration, state trips around the world.
She is married to Edward Finch Cox and is the mother of Christopher Nixon Cox.

[edit] Education
Cox attended Finch College in Manhattan, New York, a since-closed women's college best known as a "Finishing School" for affluent young women. At her graduation on June 14, 1968, her father served as a special guest speaker.[1]
[edit] Marriage and professional activities
Cox married Harvard Law student Edward Finch Cox in a White House Rose Garden ceremony on June 12, 1971.[2] The wedding was described in Life magazine as "akin to American royalty".[citation needed]
She has lived a very private life, staying home to care for her son, Christopher Nixon Cox, born in March 1979. She and her husband, now a corporate attorney and the chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, live just off Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. She serves on the boards of many medical-research institutions, as well as the Richard Nixon Foundation at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum and its adjunct, The Nixon Center in Washington, D.C.
