Meet The 5 Oldest Women In The World Today (They Have All Been Alive Since The 1800s!)
Do you remember what the world was like back in the 1800s? Probably not, unless you’re one of the lucky five remaining ladies born during the 19th century. While these women come from different backgrounds, they all have one thing in common — each of them is over 115 years old!
