Ella Williams, who went by the showbiz name of "Mme Abomah" was once the world’s tallest lady in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reportedly 7 feet 6 inches tall (2.28 meters). Accounts says she was born in Dahomey (now Republic of Benin Republic 🇧🇯) 

During her 30-year-career, Abomah did not only tour Britain but most of continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Cuba, and South America. Abomah also had very expensive and extensive clothing, making the Amazon Giantess always appear elegant and royal.
