Women Can Be

Written by	Carol Hall and Sam Pottle
Date	1974
Publisher	Sesame Street, Inc.

"Women Can Be" is a Sesame Street song about the many careers women can have. Three women place a spotlight on their own personal stories of success with the medical field, the circus and rocket science. Other opportunities expressed include everything from an alligator hunter to an office clerk, a police officer to a clown college graduate, a mountain climber to a lumberjack, and a published author to a soda jerk.

The chorus of women is made up of Margaret, Teresa, an astronaut, a telephone operator and Betty Lou. They are joined by other Anything Muppets to proclaim "there's nothing we women can't be."

Performers

• Chorus singers include Marilyn Sokol, Carol Hall, Jane Henson, and Rita Moreno. The characters are puppeteered to a pre-recorded vocal track as evidenced by the fact that several women have the same voice, some voices change, and the synch is noticably off during a few key lines. As such, no one particular character has a designated performer.
