Claim to Fame The most famous of at least two Khoikhoi women who, due to their large buttocks, were exhibited as human zoo attractions in 19th-century Europe.

Sara Baartman (also spelled Sarah, sometimes in the diminutive form Saartje or Saartjie and Bartman, Bartmann; 1789 – 29 December 1815) was the best known of at least two South African Khoikhoi women who, due to the European objectification of their buttocks, were exhibited as freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus—"Hottentot" was the name for the Khoi people, now considered an offensive term, and "Venus" referred to the Roman goddess of love and fertility.
