Of course.
A bag of cement in most European countries is 50kg or 8 stones.
And cement bag is hard to grip and not cooperating.
So unless you are thinking about manhandling unconacious women all day long in a blazing sun, it should not be a chore..

Definitely if no underlying health conditions

Lift off the ground, yes. Do a Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing? Probably not.

Definitely, if otherwise fit and well. I'm an average sized woman, and I can easily lift a 9 stone female. Would struggle to carry them any distance if they weren't conscious though.

Able - yes, most should be able to lift off the ground. Easily or safely, or being able to carry for long time - no.
