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."

This video is available via the Sesame Street Video Player.

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.
