No, you shoud not lift that much. In Australia any article weighing over 16kgs or approx 35 pounds requires two people to lift it. That is an occupational health and safety regulation.
And you question about the average woman isn't easily answered because what exactly is the average woman?!

50 pounds is the OSH limit in Missouri.
