Maria Carolien Wattel lives in Netherlands. She calls herself and amazon. (http://www.mariawattel.com/). Media gave her the name amazon and after thinking about it she agreed with this name. Media has called me an amazon, too - rather not because of the muscles but due to my feministic actions. Me and Maria pose together on the photograph. We are showing our biceps which is traditionally masculine act. „You don’t need big muscles to stand for your ideals,” Maria has said.

Take a look at the interview, too.
