Can females be Jedi?

Question

In the Clone Wars previews, there's a little alien girl talking about her Jedi training. I always thought the Jedi were all male. I thought the whole reason they hid Luke away but let Leah grow up a princess was because she wasn't a threat to Vader because as a female she couldn't become a Jedi whereas Luke, a male, of course, could. HELP!
