The original article that went with the picture spoke of "a new race of amazons" and calls the woman on the right, "Diana", which may be a reference to Wonder Woman (AKA Diana, Princess of the Amazons).

Or the Latin name for Artemis.

But where are they? I need to know... so I can avoid them...

Nearest municipal fire department, assuming the city hires women for firefighters. San Francisco did in the late 1980s

ETA SFFD still does in the 2020s and yes, they're still swoonworthy and would make Themiscyra proud.

This article is a perfect example of linear extrapolating.. They were like "huh, when you feed people a balanced diet with proper nutrition, they get 3 or 4 inches taller. This trend will obviously continue until people are 10 feet tall in a few generations."
