To determine how many heads high the woman is, we can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the segments of her body defined by the measurements:

    • Bottom of foot to mid-calf
    • Mid-calf to knee
    • Knee to mid-thigh
    • Mid-thigh to hip joint
    • Hip joint to chest
    • Chest to chin
    • Chin to top of head
  2. Count the total number of segments: Each of the segments can be considered as proportional to the head height.

    • From the bottom of her foot to the top of her head, we have 7 segments.
  3. Calculate the total height in terms of heads:
    Since the head is commonly taken as one unit of measurement, if we have 7 segments, we can estimate the height based on these segments.

  4. If we consider head height as an average unit: Typically, an average proportion would make a person's height around 7 to 8 heads tall, but based on the given options, we will choose the closest total representation.

Given the options presented (3, 5, 7, and 9 heads), the answer that fits best based on this breakdown is 7 heads high.

Therefore, the woman in the drawing is 7 heads high.
