The world’s tallest woman is a title given to the woman who holds the record for being the tallest living human female. The current record holder is Rumeysa Gelgi, who stands at 7 feet 0.7 inches (215.16 cm) tall. Gelgi was born in 1997 in Turkey and has a rare genetic condition called Weaver syndrome, which causes accelerated growth. She has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest living woman since 2014.
Being the world’s tallest woman brings both challenges and opportunities. Gelgi has faced discrimination and prejudice due to her height, but she has also used her platform to raise awareness of Weaver syndrome and to inspire others. She is a role model for people with disabilities and shows that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
