It's not heard that commonly. Some time I've heard it describing someone who has been fighting a long illness or so...

The usual (and universally understood) expression for someone who is able to face difficulties and overcome them is "ser alguien fuerte".

·El esposo de María se murió hace poco, pero ella es una mujer fuerte; ya lo está superando.
·A mi hijo lo molestaban en la escuela, pero es un niño fuerte y no se deja intimidar por los abusones.
·La idea de nuestro grupo de apoyo es ayudarnos entre todos para ser más fuertes y enfrentar nuestra enfermedad.

En México se diría "es un mujerón", y normalmente implica admiración, pero puede usarse únicamente para describir características físicas... el contexto diría.
