In the 80s or 90s I aggree it vas Cory everson and Rachel McLish. And nowadays, its hard to tell due to social media, a lot of influencers can reach a lot of ppl, and the audiance can overlap too, but my vote is on LeanBeefPatty. But to my suprise, nobody mentioned Dana Linn Bailey yet, I'm pretty sure she had a really huge inpact on mainstream media, and a lot of girrl started working out because of her.

Agreed. I think that DLB was the first true social media muscle girl influencer.
And LeanBeefPatty is the current queen. I think she's a great role model for girls who want to lift. Huge improvement over DLB's constant "natty" lies and her aggressive overcompensating #badbitch style. LBP is smart and friendly and unassuming. She's probably done more to get women lifting than anyone in the entire sport.

yeah it is definitely a generational thing. I agree with the 80s-90s. Don't really remember anyone in the 2000s. Dana Linn Bailey had a role in bodybuilding for sure, but who's to say how much she had mainstream. This new generation of GenZ has a boom for sure thanks to LeanBeefPatty being muscular but not too big. Cory Everson did have a huge impact in seeing muscular women in the mainstream media.
Elle Macpherson.
Out of the BB community id say Cory Everson: she appeared in talkshows, was regularly on the "Herculas" series, even made it to Hollywood. There were also others who gained popularity outside the beaten path: Raye Hollit, Teagen Clive, Spice Williams, however, Cory was the record winning MsO at that time.

Was going to say Cory. Her character lifted Hercules over her head in the show and as like a maybe 8-10 year old at the time that hit me.
Sue Price! 🤔
