Emma Morano of Verbania, Italy, 116, has become the oldest woman in the world, after the death of Susannah Mushatt Jones of New York City, who was also 116. Morano attributes her long life span to her decision to leave an unhappy marriage to a dominating man in 1938. She may be the last living person on Earth born in the 19th century.
