The law question is good, but I don't think Diaz would require the "broad sense" qualifier on the politics question.

So I have a guess in mind, but I'm not able to determine with certainty that she is a native speaker of an Indo-European language.

Known primarily as an activist, or for involvement in a major news story?
If Jamie is sleeping, we can play a side game of guessing who Hominidae is thinking of.
I think I figured out Hominidae's guess. Now I am trying to decide whether or not to guess her.

Either born in the current borders of Palestine (Gaza Strip or West Bank), or born to Palestinian parents?

If yes, Queen Rania of Jordan.

If it helps anyone, it seems like were looking for someone born between November 23, 1963 and 1984 who is still alive. This won't show on the summary because of the JFK question

My only guess for this one would be Malala Yousafzai and she was born 1997. Sorry to not add anything to the discussion. One of these days I'll figure it out.

An interesting person but no, it is not her.

(I am not counting that as a guess).

I will give a final clue after the final question is asked.
