First thought which comes to mind: Volunteer Firefighters.

Even with cutting out about 50% of the adults throughout history (women- and what's up with that, BTW?) I still can't name just one. Jesus of Nazareth, and Martin Luther King come to mind... I'm not religious but they both knew they'd be giving up their lives, for the causes they advanced.

Along the same lines, I'd pick everyone else who is willing to routinely put their own lives at risk to make the world a better place- such as law enforcement officers, firefighters and military members of both genders.

   I suppose you can post whatever question you like here, as long as its within the TOS of the site. Because you are asking about one particular gender does not make it a sexist question. But you can see how some might take it that way.

Re: women: Joan of Arc comes to mind.... And more recently: Benazir Bhutto.

Status: offline 		Can we have people who are dead?  If so: for bravery - any spy in German occupied terrority in WW2.  I know there are all sorts of bravery but it's this sort that, for all sorts of reasons, I find most striking of all.  The people who did that must have had testicles of titanium (the women included).  

(On my mind at the moment because I've been reading about it.)

Princess Diana who reached out to many with compassion and caring and by supporting many charities that helped countless others.

My Father. He was total caregiver to my Mother who was stricken with Parkinson's disease for 25. He married a year later at the age of 80 to someone he knew since the second grade. 7 days after the wedding, she had a stroke. He took care of her also for the next 7 years until her death of metastatic cancer. When she had to go to a nursing facility, he would go every day and sit with her without fail. At 86, he still maintains his home and yard. He is honored by lifelong friends. If he wasn't such a stubborn old German, I'd drag him to Arizona so that we could take care of HIM. I am proud to be his daughter.

My opinion: just because a man steps in to raise a child; be a father doesn't make him special. A man who runs away is not a man.

I'll agree in applauding this answer, and I'll also add my dad. He showed me that a man can be strong and gentle, that love is to be cherished, and that you don't give up.
