But that's
not unrealistic. Women have been blacksmiths for centuries, with the earliest documentation of it dating back
800 years.
The muscles needed for blacksmithing develop with use, men don't start out being able to do it perfectly either. It's also possible to use a smaller hammer but do more blows if the blacksmith doesn't have the muscle mass yet for larger hammers.
