The answer

Asma bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq is Umm Abdullah al-Qurashiyah al-Taymiyah, from Mecca then Medina. She is the mother of the Caliph Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr and the sister of Umm al-Mu'minin Aisha. She was the last of the female Muhajirun (emigrants) to pass away. She was some ten years older than Aisha and emigrated while pregnant with Abdullah. She witnessed the Battle of Yarmouk with her husband, Al-Zubayr. She, her father, her grandfather, and her son Ibn al-Zubayr were all Companions (Sahaba). She is known as "Dhat al-Nitaqayn" (the possessor of the two waist-wrappers) and passed away at an age exceeding one hundred years.
