Trijntje Cornelisdochter Keever (10 or 16 April 1616 – 2 July 1633), nicknamed De Groote Meid ('The Tall Girl'), is alleged to be the tallest woman in recorded history, standing 9 Amsterdam feet[1] or 2.60 metres (8 ft 6.75 in)[2] tall at the time of her death at age seventeen.

[citation needed] Keever's parents took her to carnivals to earn some money by letting people see her.

A royal company consisting of the Bohemian king Frederick V, Elector Palatine, his wife Elizabeth of Bohemia and the princess Amalia of Solms-Braunfels, living in The Hague at the time, visited her, curious about the "nine-year-old girl taller than every man in Europe".

In the townhall of Edam is a lifesize painting by an unknown artist portraying Keever in civilian clothes with a belt holding at her right a keyring and at her left a pincushion and a sheath with a knife, fork, and spoon.

However, Zeng Jinlian, a Chinese teenage girl, holds the world record of being the tallest woman verified in modern times.
