{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2012}}{{Use South African English|date=July 2012}}Madge Bester (26 April 1963 – 19 March 2018) was a former world's shortest living woman.[1] From South Africa, in 1991 she measured 2 ft 1.5 in (65 cm) in height. Bester had osteogenesis imperfecta, which is characterized by brittle bones, and used a wheelchair.[2]

She was a campaigner for disability rights, holding a 1998 press conference on the issue accompanied by Lin Yih-Chih, the world's smallest man.[3]

Bester lived in a retirement village in Bloemfontein. Her mother Winnie, who died in 2001, also had osteogenesis imperfecta and measured only 70 cm.[2]

Bester died on 19 March 2018, aged 54.[4][5]
