Katie, Big and Strong: The True Story of a Mighty Woman Who Could Lift Anything

Duration
10min
Language
English
Format
Category

Children

A real-life superwoman who used her powers for good.

Katie Sandwina was the strongest woman the world had ever seen. In her circus performances, she bent steel bars, broke chains, and carried a cannon! She could lift men with one hand and twirl them around!

In an era when “proper ladies” were expected to be helpless and frail, Katie showed everyone that women could be powerful. She also spoke up for women’s equality and the right to vote.

This is the true story of a woman who was beautiful not despite her size and strength but because of them.
