Turkish Rumeysa Gelgi, who is more than 7 feet tall; World’s tallest woman

Craig Glenday, the editor in chief of the Guinness World Records, also congratulated Gelgi. “It’s an honor to welcome Rumeysa back into the record books. Her indomitable spirit and pride at standing out from the crowd is an inspiration,” he said. “The category of tallest living woman is not one that changes hands very often, so I’m excited to share this news with the world,” he added.
