Scene from Family Guy, where Lois fights a woman who has insulted her.
The "villain" fighting Lois has strength, though, despite being "proper" and educated, so much so that she breaks the straps to Lois's dress just by squeezing her. Reminds me of Katie Couric for some reason, though the "villain" character, named Gloria Ironbauchs, is voiced by the real-life Candace Bergen.
Actually, I don't know why I'm saying "for some reason".
From the year 2000 to roughly 2012, Katie Couric had an INCREDIBLE physique, newscaster or not, with even some WWE women admiring her prowess:

I've found the vast majority of people have little if any idea what even the average person is capable of, let alone how to assess someone in an area like physical strength.
I still remember with some degree of awe that a PhD candidate versed in math and physics and engineering couldn't guesstimate how much weight his hands supported doing a standard push-up, or even think to employ the simple method of performing a push-up with his hands on a bathroom scale to test if he was close.
In other words, with all due respect, I doubt you'd KNOW if any women in your life had "Amazon level strength" (whatever that means to you). Very VERY few people think of any practical means to measure such things in their lives.

Matt Laurer and Christie Brinkley on Jay Leno's Tonight Show, circa 2000.
Along the same continuum, it's worth it to point out, in no particular order, that
-- people are often strong in different movements
-- you can't always tell JUST by generic shape or size how strong someone is
-- people look a lot different when actively flexing versus at rest or clowning around
Exhibits A & B of some of the following?
Jenny McCarthy and Katie Couric.
Note that Couric is much older here than when she flexed back in 2000 for Leno, or even 2010 when she fireman carried and flexed for KellyKelly and Gail, as you saw in that WWE women's clip a post or more ago. McCarthy is roughly 15 years her junior, and Couric about 56 years old here. And you can see McCarthy has a considerable and deceptive amount of upper body mass herself once they're actually actively engaging one another:

Clip from an interesting game which I've not yet discovered the name of ...
'Cause it's a topic worth exploring.
And helps us get closer to the title goal of this thread in the discourse.
Anyway, a 1998 blast from the past:
