She married strongman Charles Blatt in 1888. Early lifeBlatt was born in New York, the ninth child of German immigrants Joseph and Louisa Schauer.[2] Her father immigrated in 1858 and her mother two years later.[3] Nineteenth-century accounts differ as to the place and time of her birth. In an interview in The Mirror of Manchester, New Hampshire, she claimed to have been born in 1865 in Hamburg, Germany. The Guinness Book of World Records listed her as an American, born in 1869, and various accounts place her either in Hoboken or Elizabethtown, New Jersey in her youth. World weightlifting record disputeIn the July 1937 issue of Strength & Health magazine, Rosetta Hoffman made the claim that Minerva had lifted 23 men and a platform, in a 3,564–lb hip-and-harness lift.[4] For several years, the Guinness Book of World Records listed Minerva as having lifted the greatest weight ever by a woman—3,564-lb in a hip-and-harness lift[5]— "at the Bijou Theatre, Hoboken, N.J., on April 15, 1895."[6] Hoffman may be the source for Guinness record, even though it contradicts, and even enhances, the published claim of the time from the sponsor of the event, the National Police Gazette. The Gazette, a sensationalist tabloid of the period, claimed she lifted a platform with only 18 men weighing "approximately 3000 pounds". For this feat, the Gazette awarded Minerva with a solid gold loving cup on April 29, 1895; this trophy is now lost. Wrestling careerBlatt was the first woman to ever hold a professional wrestling championship, the original Women's World Championship, won in the 1890s. In the 1890s she competed across Mexico.[7] Late lifeBlatt retired from performance in 1910, and invested in New Jersey real estate. She died on September 1, 1923. Championships and accomplishments
