"Den dat little man in black dar, he say women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wan't a woman! Whar did your Christ come from?" Rolling thunder couldn't have stilled that crowd, as did those deep, wonderful tones, as she stood there with out-stretched arms and eyes of fire. Raising her voice still louder, she repeated, "Whar did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothin' to do wid Him." Oh, what a rebuke that was to that little man. just imagine she was 6 foot 7 and said, that like fatou kine, and then lifted him up, she said May I say a few words? Receiving an affirmative answer, she proceeded; I want to say a few words about this matter. I am for woman's rights. I have as much muscle as any man, and can do as much work as any man. I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that? I have heard much about the sexes being equal; I can carry as much as any man, and can eat as much too, if I can get it. I am as strong as any man that is now

Kate Sandwina 1884 – January 21, 1952) was a 6 foot 2 strong woman in the 19th Century Katie Brumbach was one of fourteen children born to circus performers Philippe and Johanna Brumbach. In her early years, Katie performed with her family. Katie's father would offer one hundred marks to any man in the audience who could defeat her in wrestling; no one ever succeeded in winning the prize. It was during one such performance that Katie met her husband of fifty-two years, Max Heymann. Brumbach once defeated the famous strongman Eugene Sandow in a weightlifting contest in New York. Katie lifted a weight of 300 pounds over her head, which Sandow only managed to lift to his chest. After this victory, she adopted the stage name "Sandwina" as a feminine derivative of Sandow. Sandwina worked in the United States with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for many years, until she was nearly 60. One of her standard performance feats was lifting her husband (who weighed 165 pounds) overhead with one hand. She performed many other feats, such as bending steel bars and resisting the pull of four horses.

I read in the 19th Century recorded 1861, maybe the early part a person in a workhouse remembered the story of a six foot tall lady in Britain, I do not know where, probabaly England, and she was the daughter of a shop keeper, at that time, average height meant this was like 6 4 maybe, a giantess and she came to the workhouse for relief as king for bread, she was feared as a fighter, called Deseperate Deborah, she was broad in proportion arms like strong blacksmiths, she was violenty full of temper, she went to a workhouse, and a man said do you want bread, and she said, of course I do that is why I am here, as he did not give her enough bread she said, that shelf needs a ornament and placed the man on a shelf, he had her upo in her arms, and deposited him on the shelf, then she started chasing men from the workhouse athortyies still they gave her more, sometimes 2 at oncem, she was called before 12 men, the worhouse bosses, and demanded more one opposed her requests so she threatened him, and a fight broke outm, she escaped every timne from grasps, badly wounding men with blows a prize fighter would envy, in the end they had her down on the ground via the proper she was sent to prison for 10 days, and then she captured a boss's wife and carried her off and put her in the coal celler, she was later to meet a man called Mr "Lucky" Frank (he was often lucky) she walked into the workhouse and in a mischavous mood, she saw he was much shorter and picked up his cap and threw it ourt of the workhouse onto a road, but he camke in and beat her in a fight they then married, would have been better if they just married without him winning a fight,

In 1906 The Montreal Gazette reported a lady called Juno May wanted to wrestle men under 165 pounds, she weighed 252 pounds, had a chest of 50 inches, waist 33 and half, inches, neck 15.5, upper arm 14 and a half, forearm 12, calf 16 and a half inches, she is 22 from Kent England, is blue yedm, I believed dark haired, clear skin, regular features, attractive,

In the 1890s a New Zealand paper reported that 6 foot 4 and 6 foot 5 women were exibeted at some freak shows, hilarious that is the same height as many many men are, that makes freak shows seem less horrible for people to be in, but maybe they were more like strong women, and strong men, and also a 6 foot 4 woman in the 1940s became a housekeeper anfter being the tall woman at a circus

Sarah Bowman was a American lady she went on Zachary Taylor's invasion of Mexico in the 1840s, a lusting red haired redheaded Sarah over 6 foot Sturdy lady called the The Great Western, a laundress cook, who used her amazon abilirty in many ways ahad affairs and was amazing Physically, Bowman was an unusually large woman. Standing 6 feet (1.8 m) tall (some reports claim 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m)) and reportedly weighing 200 pounds (91 kg), she was described as "a remarkably large, well-proportioned strong woman, of strong nerves, and great physical power." Other observers noted she had an hourglass figure. Due to her large size she was nicknamed the Great Western, an apparent reference to SS Great Western, for a time the largest ship afloat. Bowman also possessed skills to complement her Amazon-like physique. Texas Ranger John Salmon Ford said of her, "She could whip any man, fair fight or foul, could shoot a pistol better than anyone in the region, and at black jack could outplay (or out cheat) the slickest professional gambler." The first documented record of Bowman occurs in 1845 at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. When her husband enlisted in the Seventh infantry, she signed on as a laundress, a position that included food, shelter, and the opportunity to earn a salary three times that earned by an Army private. From Jefferson Barracks she accompanied the army to Corpus Christi Bay. By the time the army arrived in July 1845, her duties included cook and nurse in addition to the laundry. The army remained encamped long the Nueces River till March 1846 when they received orders to advance to the Rio Grande. Instead of following her husband, who was ill, and most of the military wives on ships down the coast, Bowman purchased a wagon and mule team and followed the army on land She handled the trek with skills the "best teamster in the train might have envied." The first encounter between American and Mexican forces came on March 21, 1846 during the crossing of Arroyo Colorado. As the Americans approached the steep embankment, bugles rang out on the other bank accompanied by the warning, "Cross this stream and you will be shot!" Upon seeing the column halted, Bowman rode to the front and told the commander, "If the general would give me a strong pair of tongs, I'd wade that river and whip every scoundrel that dared show himself." (In addition to the tool, tongs was at the time slang for men's trousers. ) Inspired by her example the American troops made the crossing, scattering the opposing troops in the process. While Borginnes was not involved in the Battle of Monterrey, she did see action during the Battle of Buena Vista. During the conflict she prepared food and coffee, reloaded weapons, and carried wounded off the field of battle. Her attention to the injured even earned her the nickname "Doctor Mary" Legend claims she received a saber wound to her cheek while working a cannon position before sadly slaying the Mexican soldier who cut her. well there are mexican amazons too, Another incident involves a retreating private. The soldier ran into Borginnes' restaurant yelling that Taylor had been defeated. She responded by punching the private in the face and telling him "You damned son of a bitch, there ain't Mexicans enough in Mexico to whip old Taylor. You just spread that report and I'll beat you to death. Following signature of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the U.S. Army prepared to depart Northern Mexico. By this time Borginnes' second husband had left her—whether by death or abandonment is unknown. She desired to accompany the departing troops to California, but was informed that only military wives were allowed to join the column.[ In response she mounted her horse, rode through the soldiers, and shouted "Who wants a wife with $15,000 and the biggest leg in Mexico! Come, my beauties, don't all speak at once—who is the lucky man?" Eventually a dragoon named either Davis or David E. volunteered on the condition that a priest perform the marriage ceremony Her response to this was, "Bring your blanket to my tent tonight and I will learn you to tie a knot that will satisfy you, I reckon!"
