Vulcana reached the height of her popularity in France, impressing the Halterophile Club de France with her feats of strength, which earned her a medal from the "Father of French Bodybuilding", Professor Edmond Desbonnet and a picture on the cover of La Santé par les Sports.
She was honored with over one hundred medals throughout her career.

Her best-authenticated feats were bent press with her right hand of at least 124½ lb (56.5 kg), with some authorities accepting a press of 145 lb (66 kg), and an overhead lift with a 56 lb (25 kg) weight in each hand.

She freed a wagon stuck in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London in October 1901 by lifting it before astonished witnesses.

Authorities believe Vulcana reached the peak of her strength in about 1910.
On 29 May 1913 at Haggar's Theatre in Llanelly, she lifted a challenge bell that rival strongwoman Athelda failed to raise after twenty-five minutes of trying.
