This woman named Mary was called “the ugliest woman in the world”, but then people did not know that she suffered from a rare genetic disease 😢 Before this, Mary was a real beauty and gave birth to 4 children from a loving husband 😲 What this woman looked like before the transformation, as well as photos of her children can be seen below⬇️⬇️
To provide for her family and start saving for her dowry, young Mary got a job at a hospital. In those years, she was an attractive girl: slim, with pleasant features, fair skin and kind eyes.
At the age of 29, Mary married Thomas Bevan. It was a happy union, filled with mutual support and care.
However, the joy of family life began to be overshadowed when, after the birth of her first child, Mary began to notice alarming changes in her health.
The first symptoms appeared when she was 32. Constant migraines, joint and muscle pain prevented her from enjoying life. But, busy with caring for her family, Mary did not immediately seek medical help.
At that time, medicine could not explain the nature of her illness. She suffered from acromegaly, a rare hormonal disorder that causes excessive growth of bones and soft tissue.
Gradually, her appearance began to change. Her nose became large and massive, her lower jaw protruded, her skin became rough, and her hair became coarse.
The figure also changed: the rounded feminine forms disappeared, the shoulders became broad, the arms huge, and the gait awkward.
In 1914, Thomas Bevan died suddenly, leaving Mary a widow with four children. Mary was in dire straits. Her appearance had become so unusual that no organization wanted to hire her.
In order to survive and feed her children, she made a difficult decision. Mary applied to participate in a contest for women with unusual appearance, where she won the title of “The Ugliest Woman in the World”.
She was ridiculed while performing on the show, but she endured the humiliation for the sake of her children’s future. Thanks to these performances, she was able to provide them with a decent living.
