She has written several books include: Daybreak, and And a Voice to Sing With (memoir). The early years of Baez's career saw the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. become a prominent issue. Her performance of "We Shall Overcome", the civil rights anthem written by Pete Seeger and Guy Carawan, at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom permanently linked her to the song. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
