To determine how many heads high the woman in the drawing is, we need to understand the proportions of her height relative to the sizes of her head.

From the given description, the woman's height is divided into several segments:

  1. From foot to mid-calf
  2. Mid-calf to knee
  3. Knee to mid-thigh
  4. Mid-thigh to hip joint
  5. Hip joint to chest
  6. Chest to chin
  7. Chin to top of her head

Each segment typically represents a standard proportion of the human body. In the classic proportions for an adult human, the height can often be approximated as being around 7 to 8 heads high.

However, the question provides specific answer choices: 3, 5, 7, and 9.

  • If we count the segments provided:
    • Foot to mid-calf (1)
    • Mid-calf to knee (1)
    • Knee to mid-thigh (1)
    • Mid-thigh to hip joint (1)
    • Hip joint to chest (1)
    • Chest to chin (1)
    • Chin to top of the head (1)

That totals 7 segments. Assuming that a woman's head contributes 1 segment in height rather than being included in the count, the woman's height could be considered as 7 heads high overall (if each of the segments is roughly equal to the size of the head).

Thus, the most reasonable estimate given the choices would be:

7 heads high.
