Knowing that she is a yeoman from Sphinx indicates that she is a native of the planet, so her body is completely conditioned to live normally in 1.3+ G. So she automatically has 1/3 more muscle mass than someone otherwise identical from Earth it Manticore.
In other words, a "typical" 120 lb(earth) woman from Sphinx would weigh 160 pounds on Sphinx, and probably have the same physical strength as a 160 lb man from Manticore, just with less mass to put behind their punch.
A Genie would probably have even more strength, and most importantly, not look like she was a weightlifter, like may heavyworlders look.
I don't doubt the veracity of your comment, it is simply that the facts in my brain have become even more scrambled since I've gotten married. Too much contact with my headboard as a result of being on the bottom. Hey, I'm all for women's rights! LOL
Per my jumbled memory, I thought that that's what being a genie meant. That you are conditioned to live on heavy worlds and the harsh environment. Obviously my memory fails me and I am in error? Would someone kindly shed light on my darkness lest I have to go looking for half-a-needle in the Pearls haystack.
