Women get the muscle strength, but not the mass of a guy lifting. So, why not, especially for the overall health benefits?

Can you point me to a study that shows women of the same weight and height achieve (on average) more strength than men of corresponding weight and heights under a similar strength-building routine?
Some women are stronger than some guys of similar build, but I never thought that was usual. Even if the muscles are the same, don't women naturally pack more "dead weight" in the form of fat, that would decrease their net power output?
