List of short women
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lives and concerns of short people have gained media attention in the last decades through organizations like Little People of America and series like Little People, Big World. For utility this will use the standards set by "Little People" organizations, which is also in keeping with the shortest percentile of female height indicated by the United States government.[1]
To make the list useful for its purpose names should be added only when their short stature is part of their fame or significance.
