The average height of American women has been steadily increasing over the past century. In the early 1900s, the average American woman was just over 5 feet tall. Today, the average American woman is about 5 feet 4 inches tall.
There are a number of factors that have contributed to this increase in height, including better nutrition, improved healthcare, and a more active lifestyle. Taller women tend to have higher incomes, more education, and better overall health. They are also more likely to be in leadership positions.
