Mattie Lee Price
Mattie Lee Price (1869–1899) of Bartow County, Georgia, United States, was just fourteen when she became the second of the Georgia Wonder girls to come out of Georgia, USA during the winter of 1883–1884. Georgia Wonder girls were pre-vaudeville acts in which the young women performed feats of strength, usually pitted against men. They used fulcrum and leverage techniques to lift heavy men in chairs, twist hickory sticks out of strong men’s hands, and other feats of strength. There were variations of the act that included balance tests. Lulu Hurst, of Polk County who was fifteen at the time she began her act, started the phenomenon. She gave a magical demonstration at her father’s farm in late December 1883. She was usually billed as "Lulu" Hurst. Dixie Haygood, with the stage name of Annie
