about

Girls and young women absorb a lot of wacky messages, growing up. This is an illustration of some of them. Also, I brought this song to a Rosanne Cash songwriting intensive, and the experience changed my life. Thanks!

lyrics

Feminist Babe
Words and music by Anne M Carley

If James Bond were a woman
That's who I would want to be
subtle and unafraid...
two steps ahead...
tall, cool, masterful, always alert
outwitting all the villains in my skintight leather skirt
Yeah -- I'd be a smoking swearing poolshark feminist babe
very cool and a feminist babe

If Jane Austen were a hippie
That's who I would want to be
deep thoughts would come to me...
arranging the bouquet...
calm, cool, capable, always a smile
creating pithy paragraphs while birthing someone's child
Yeah -- I'd be an artist, a singer, a writer and a feminist babe
very cool and a feminist babe

Shaken not stirred
look but don't touch
always keep them guessing
never say too much
Very cool and a feminist babe
Very cool and a feminist babe

If Madame Curie were a sexpot
That's who I would want to be
dying for science...
winning two Nobels...
smart, cool, disciplined, always prepared
revealing lacy lingerie whenever someone stared
Yeah -- I'd be a physicist, a chemist, an ecologist feminist babe
very cool and a feminist babe

Shaken not stirred
look but don't touch
always keep them guessing
never say too much
Very cool and a feminist babe
Very cool feminist babe
