Slightly misleading Title. Wikipedia lists her (Rumeysa Gelgi , 7'0.3) as only the third tallest living woman. Siddiqi Parveen of India (7'8) and Sun Fang of China (7'3) are both taller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_people#Women

That's crazy that the NBA has 23 men that are in 7.0+ feet tall range, but the entire world only has 3 women. Like, I understand that it's the biology that makes it very improbable, but still, there's about 4 billion women!

Gwendoline Christie is 6'3" and that's enough to have her character referred to as "the big woman" in Game of Thrones.
