The Ugliest Women in the World

 


 Mary Ann Bevan, nicknamed the ugliest woman in the world, but when you know her story, you'll call her ′′ The most beautiful woman in the world ".

Mr. Bevan always supported his wife and stood by her side, but his destiny had its own plans. After 11 years of marriage, he died, and Mary became a widow with children and almost no money. Despite her serious illness, she had to support her children.
After accumulating big debts, and with her frustration and economic necessity, she entered the contest for ′′ The Ugliest Woman in the World ′′ won the humiliating prize. She was then taken to the circus, touring the cities of Britain, where all the people rushed to see ′′ The Ugliest Woman in the World ".

Despite this she preferred to hold on to people's mockery to be able to raise their children and give them a good education, she moved to America in 1933 where she died.



In this picture, you can see Mary with her children: her oldest son is wearing a sailor suit, her younger son is in a 3-piece suit, and her daughters are wearing nice dresses. At that time, studio photoshoots weren’t very common, and perhaps this fact indicates that Mary was a more loving and caring mother, than a freak show artist.
If there were standards for the beauty of the soul, Mary Ann Bevan would be the most beautiful woman in the world.
(Mary Ann suffered from acromegaly)

Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
