Many times we hear that crossfit is not for women, because soon they will look like men.
Couldn't be farther from the truth. When lifting weights we train muscles and not necessary built huge volume.
When we are talking about weight lifiting everyone think about bodybuilding and those bulky women.
They eat, train and use supplements specifically so they can look like that. This is their goal.
Here's the truth.

When you pick up heavy things, your muscles get STRONGER (but not necessarily bigger). If you pump yourself full of testosterone and eat way more calories than you are burning every day, you will get bigger.
If you pick up heavy things, and eat a caloric deficit (and eat the right kinds of food – actual healthy foods), your muscles will get stronger and denser; you will burn the fat on top of your muscle, and you will get that “toned” look that you’re after.
