Synopsis :

Katie Sandwina lifted more than carousels and cannons―she also lifted up women everywhere! Discover the story of 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 up men with one hand and twirl them around!
It was more than just an act: Katie set a legendary world record with her ability to lift hundreds of pounds. And in an era when "proper ladies" were expected to be helpless and frail, Katie showed everyone that women could be powerful and take up space―and not just in the circus ring. In 1912, At the height of her fame, Katie 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.
