Strong Woman Aka Josie Terena (1941)

No title - Strong women - Josie Terena.
Probably filmed at Pathe studios, London.
Various shots as 19 year old Josie Terena shows off her well developed arm muscles. Various shots as she picks up a long nail and wraps it in cloth, then proceeds to bend it and break it in half. She then takes a metal bar and bends it over her knee and thigh. She takes two pieces of rope with rings on the end and holds them together whilst two men on each side try to pull them apart. She has no problem holding them together. Various shots as she rips the telephone book in half. She throws the two halves away and smiles.

Thank you for posting

like her bicep bounce

[@jeffmissinne3866]

Something very familiar about that background music! I've heard exactly the same track on sound prints of Charlie Chaplin comedies and other short films. Anybody know what it's called?

[@timothyroberts9980]

Wonder what her well defined biceps measured ?

[@KentPetersonmoney]

I am wondering if this was stage. If this is really she's pretty strong. Most likely not living today since this was 1941 and she is stated to be 19 in this video which would make her 102 today.

none of those 'feats' are particularly hard, though.

fuckyou ure right, aspecialy with the last one with the phonebook brake using the V-trick explained nicely by strongman Dennis Rogers!

[@francescoabosi3129]

She Is strong for a woman of that size

[@fitg6251]

@@francescoabosi3129 Yeah, I've seen women in the gym and, sorry, i don't think they could pull several men holding a rope let alone tear a telephone book in half. It's so easy for people to say such things, until they actually put themselves such a position!

She is a woman, the average man cannot perform any of these feats.
