The fascinating and tragic story of Mary Ann Bevan

She is Mary Ann Bevan, known as the “ugliest woman in the world”, but when you know her story you will call her “the most beautiful person in the world”. Mary Ann suffered from acromegaly due to which she had abnormal growth and facial distortion. After her husband died, without a breadwinner in the house, accumulating debts and financial needs of her 4 children she decided to participate in the humiliating contest and won the offensive title of “world’s ugliest woman.”

In many ways, I’m happy with how far our society has come in 2022. Sure, certain things were better in the old days, but if we look just a few centuries back, there are aspects of everyday life that well and truly belong in the dustbin of history.

In the 19th century, ”freak shows” were one of the most popular attractions out there, and viewed as a normal staple of American culture.

In essence, they were traveling circuses displaying “odd” people – such as bearded ladies and Siamese twins.
