Herculine: The Female Samson of Strength and Endurance, Circa 1908 This photograph showcases Herculine, an extraordinary woman known for her remarkable strength and unyielding determination. Herculine, who has been referred to as the female Samson, gained fame for her unique method of lifting weights using nothing but her hair. In this image, we see Herculine in the midst of a weightlifting demonstration, with hooks securely attached to her long, thick hair. The hooks, a testament to her strength, are anchored to the weights she lifts effortlessly. Herculine's outfit, a part of the weightlifter costume of the time, includes a garter worn below the knee. The garter, a common accessory for weightlifters during this era, adds an intriguing element to the photograph.
