Women’s strength

My two ongoing fitness goals are to incorporate running into my list of activities, and to have enough upper body strength to lift a canoe. Thinking about this second goal, I wonder what the typical body strength of a woman is. In looking for information on this, I found this interesting excerpt from the book War and Gender: How Gender Shapes the War System and Vice Versa. It has some information on female strength, particularly relative to male strength.
