She wrote How to Be a Twenty-First Century Pioneer Woman (2008) and Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact (2014), and is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Mormon Women Project.[6][7] McBaine also works professionally as a marketing and branding specialist.[8]

Biography

McBaine was born and raised in New York City. Her mother, Ariel Bybee, was a singer with the Metropolitan Opera, and she spent much of her childhood at that location. She graduated from the Chapin School[9] and studied piano at the Juilliard School. She then graduated from Yale University in English literature.[8][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.[2] 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.[2]

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] She served as Chief Marketing Officer at Brain Chase Productions, maker of an online learning program for grade school students.[8]
