The World’s Tallest Woman and Me


In a world where the lottery of nature predicts your shape and size, the title of the tallest woman in the world is currently up for grabs. For years 7’7” Sandy Allen was the tallest woman but recently there has been speculation an even taller woman is out there. In the Tallest Woman in the World and Me, Mark Dolan embarks on a bizarre journey around the world in search of the Tallest Woman on the planet. Stopping off in America, India and China, Mark Dolan is part entertaining guide, part bewildered tourist as he befriends the world’s tallest women, gets an insight into their lives, and delves into the unusual subcultures that surround them.

In the process he finds out what life is like when you're 7’ 7”, where you shop for size 27 shoes, and uncovers a world of failed relationships where sometimes the only option left is to opt for an arranged ‘tall marriage’.CREDIT: DRG
