Imagine having lived during the time of the Ottoman Empire, Austro-Hungarian empire and imperial Russia and still alive today. She was almost middle aged during when WW2 ended. Amazing.

She's French. Interestingly enough the oldest verified human in history was also a French woman, at 122.

The perspective is incredible. By the turn of the century, she was already 90+ years old and experienced a ton of cultural revolutions and turnover. She was so old that many people born after her had already lived and died. Incredible

Makes sense. If they were 116 and born in 1934, that'd just be weird.
