"If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" is a #protestSong written by #PeteSeeger and #LeeHays. It was written in 1949 in support of the #ProgressiveMovement, and was first recorded by #theWeavers, a #folkMusic quartet composed of Seeger, Hays, #RonnieGilbert, and #FredHellerman. It was a #10 hit for #PeterPaulAndMary in 1962 and then went to #3 a year later when recorded by #TriniLopez in 1963.

Ronnie later describes the difficulty in getting the men of the Weavers interested in including songs about women, including Hay Una Mujer Desaparacida, in her autobiography published shortly before her death in 2016.
