One of the strongest women in the world, if not the strongest - she holds all the records. Becca Swanson is a tall woman, she may not look like though because people in her business rarely look so.
Look at Eddie Hall - a 6'2" man who can be mistaken for a 5'8" man in a portrait photo. Look at Brian Shaw - a 6'8" man who could be mistaken for a 6'2". Strongmen or women have proportions that rarely help in their looking tall - probably due to their thickness. Anyway, Becca is listed at 5'10" throughout the internet, and in the absence of any contradictory evidence, we have to give her that.
The height of Becca Swanson is 5'10" or 178 cm

Data painstakingly extracted more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. Expect up to half an inch of discrepancy from real life. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height.
