Yocheved Kashi, a woman who broke ground for Israeli female paratroopers.

Mimi Parker, drummer and vocalist of Low, dies aged 55. "Alongside husband Alan Sparhawk, Parker formed Low in the early 90s, and their minimal alternative to the era’s grunge-heavy music saw them acclaimed as one of indie-rock’s most original bands." Guardian.

Things We Lost In The Fire is their most brilliant album.

Edit: oh, I see rookie54 beat me to it.
