She lives in Lima, the capital of Peru.

In the early spring of 1939, a worried family from a remote village in Peru took their five-year-old daughter to a doctor in faraway Lima. The girl’s belly had been growing for several months, and her mother was afraid she might have a tumour.


To their shock and dismay, the doctor diagnosed their daughter, Lina Medina, as being seven months pregnant.

Her case took the medical world of the time by surprise, and the matter has been the subject of speculation ever since.

The baby was named Gerardo after the doctor who diagnosed her. The child was raised believing that Medina was his sister. But Gerardo came to know the truth at the age of 10. 

Gerardo died in 1979 at the age of 40. Medina worked as a secretary to Dr. Gerardo Lozado in Lima. Later she married Raúl Jurado and delivered her second son in 1972.


Medina, now 90, never revealed who the father was, and to this day she and her family shun publicity from the outside world.

The youngest woman in history

Walker Calhoun was the youngest of 12 children born to Sally Ann Calhoun and Morgan Calhoun. His father died when he was young.


At the age of 12, Calhoun attended a boarding school in Cherokee, North Carolina, where he was taught the English language. Before that time, he had rarely heard English since his mother did not speak it. During World War II, he was drafted and served as a combat engineer in Germany.

Calhoun started learning Cherokee songs from an early age. He had learned most of the social and sacred songs from his uncle, Will West Long, by the time he was nine years old.


Calhoun founded the Raven Rock Dancers in the 1980s, to help keep traditional Cherokee dances alive within his Big Cove, North Carolina community.

Walker Calhoun was a Cherokee musician, dancer, and teacher. He was known as a medicine man and spiritual leader who worked to preserve the history, religion, and herbal healing methods of his people.
