Known as a US singer with the band The Carpenters, Karen Carpenter (1950 – 1983) was also an incredibly talented self-taught drummer. More at home behind her kit, she was reluctantly forced to give up this role in the band #WomensArt

Died from anorexia. The only thing she could control in her life was how much she ate. Everything else was directed by her father and brother.

She had a strained relationship with her mother because Richard was the favorite.
