This is Katie Sandwina, vintage strongwoman extraordinaire. She worked for Barnum and Bailey’s in the early 1900s. According to legend, she met her husband while taking on all comers in wrestling (an area in which, much like Rejected Princess Khutulun, she remained undefeated). Her future husband, Max, approached the ring thinking that it’d be easy money. According to his later recollection, he only remembered entering the arena, a blue sky, and getting carried away by Katie like a sack of potatoes. That’s him looking up to her in the last picture.
She worked into her 60s, bending iron bars and besting her male contemporaries in feats of strength. The name Sandwina even comes from her famously defeating father-of-bodybuilding Eugene Sandow in a weightlifting competition.

Liam Neeson struggles with being unappreciated after saving his family. Taken 4: Granted
So my dad has new clients and their son is transgender. He got pregnant with his boyfriend and put the baby up for adoption and the baby was adopted by a gay couple….which means that his baby daughter has 4 dads and no mom.
This kid is going to own at the ‘my dad can beat up your dad’ game.
