   Maybe the 30s but not 1916? Am I wrong? That was almost 100 years ago.

   Some even before the 1900s such as Vulcana. I am sure there strong women throughout history but they would be more rare.

   There was also Mildred Burke, the pro wrestler, who had an awesome physique for the time.

   Judging from the hairstyles and all, this is from the 1940s or 1950s. And this wouldn’t have been the “first” female bodybuilder. There were several muscular female “physical culturalists” during that time, including Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton, who passed away just a few years ago. At 5-1, 120, “Pudgy” had a powerful, curvy build that could’ve stood on a 1980s bodybuilding stage with a little bit of dieting. And the greatest pre-1990s strongwoman of all, Katie Sandwina, was from the early 1900s
