Mathilda Cajdos

Mathilda Cajdos (January 1877 – 18 December 1909), known by the stage name Princess Nouma-Hawa was a famous Hungarian-American circus performer and animal trainer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was of unusually short stature and was called the shortest woman in the world. She was one of at least two circus performers who used the exotic stage name Nouma-Hawa.
