Born in 1935, Peggy is the half-sister of Pete Seeger and daughter of Ruth Crawford Seeger: her life partner was the English songwriter Ewan MacColl, who wrote First Time Ever I Saw Your Face for her and with whom she had three children. Nowadays she is sometimes thought of as the mother of Neill and Calum MacColl but she is very much her own woman. She is probably best known for her feminist song Gonna Be an Engineer and for The Ballad of Springhill, which is rapidly becoming regarded as a traditional song.
After living 35 years in England, she returned to the USA in 1994 and after residing in Asheville, North Carolina, for ten years, she now lives in Boston. She now tours extensively in the USA as a solo concert artist, singing and giving workshops. She has made 21 solo recordings and has participated in over a hundred recordings with other artists.
