The Smallest Woman in the World
Hatice Kocaman – the world’s smallest woman at just 28 inches tall and weighing 15lbs – suffers from a rare bone disease that means that, at 21-years-old, she has the body mass of an eight-year-old baby. Hatice was officially granted the title of world’s smallest woman by Guinness earlier this year, second only to Nepalese man, Khagendra Thapa Magar who at 25.8 inches is the worlds smallest person.
“I always hoped that one day the world would recognize me,” she said. “It was hard when I was a child because all my classmates used to tease me for being small. “But now I am famous because of my size. So it makes me feel like I am much taller. I hope to travel and to meet lots of people including the tallest man in the world.
