6. Rosa and Josepha Blažek
Rosa and Josepha Blažek were born in 1878 in Bohemia. They began
appearing in shows and exhibitions at the tender age of one. When the
girls were thirteen years old, they went to Paris to see doctors about
the possibility of separation. However, since they shared a lower
vertebrae they were told that seperation was impossible.
The
twins, as often is the case, were different in many ways. Rosa was
chatty and witty whereas Josepha was introverted and quiet. Rosa was
also stronger Josepha, both physically and personality wise. In 1910,
Rosa gave birth to a son by vaginal delivery (findagrave.com).
It is interesting to note that Rosa is the only conjoined female twin
in history to bear a viable child. It is said that the boy’s father was
forbidden to marry Rosa on the grounds of morality
