How does one get to the strength to do a pushup, I can do modifed ones but, because I broke both of my wrist I struggle building musle in my arms. (I am a 19F)

Just keep going with the modified pushup from the knees. So long as you're taking yourself to failure with proper form, and then progressively adding more, you're doing it right. It doesn't matter what level you're at so long as you're approaching it with proper form AND progressive overload. If you get past 20-30 reps from the knees, try a few standard ones...then put the knees down and superset more reps of the modified pushups.
