World's Strongest Woman

World's Strongest Woman was an annual strongwoman contest organized by the International Federation of Strength Athletes (IFSA). The format was similar to the World's Strongest Man contest, but with lighter weights. The contest was first held in 2001.

The 2004 contest was cancelled after the withdrawal of sponsors TWI and BBC. The IFSA replaced it with the Strongwoman World Championships.
