Why was I famous? Well I was very tall. Again if you like to be technical I was 8 foot 4 inches. I was the tallest woman of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. I traveled around the country a lot. Being tall wasn't my only major accomplishment. Finding a job was my other major accomplishment. Most buildings were too short to fit me in it. That's why I got a job at Barnum and Bailey's circus. I was the entertainment. I didn't like it very much but it was the only job I could get.
