Biography

McBaine was born and raised in New York City, where she graduated from the Chapin School[1] and studied piano at the Juilliard School. She then graduated from Yale University in English literature.[4][10]

As a newlywed after Yale, she decided against a doctoral program at Columbia University and instead moved to San Francisco, California and began working in public relations and marketing. Her husband's graduate studies then took them to Boston, Massachusetts.[3] In 2009 they settled in Salt Lake City, and McBaine became creative director at Bonneville Communications where she worked on the "I'm a Mormon" advertising project.[11]

McBaine self-published her first book in 2009, How to be a Twenty-First Century Pioneer Woman. In 2014, Greg Kofford Books published her book Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact, which addressed tensions regarding the role of women in Mormon culture, and proposes possible solutions.[3]

In 2010 McBaine founded the Mormon Women Project, a 501c3 nonprofit that collects and publishes interviews of Mormon women from various countries around the world.[12] As a Mormon feminist, McBaine also advocated for LDS women to lead the church's refugee-assistance efforts.[13] McBaine also served as Chief Marketing Officer at Brain Chase Productions, maker of an online learning program for grade school students.[4]
