About Meg McKain Grier

"What really makes things happen in politics? The answer had been under my nose for years!" said Meg Grier, author of Grassroots Women: A Memoir of the Republican Party of Texas. "I watched a group of big name politicos meet with some local women activists-among them my mother-in-law-and I was amazed that these officials really listened to what they had to say. I then realized the strength of grassroots politics."

Intrigued by what made government work, Grier worked in Washington, D.C. after graduating from college. Grier earned a master's degree in public affairs from George Washington University. Working as a commercial lender and small business owner, Grier searched the world of business and finance but found the answer in the Republican women of Texas.

But eventually she discovered her answer when she saw a group of grassroots activists, including her mother-in-law, meeting with politicians. In writing Grassroots Women, Grier wanted to pass along how inspiring these women are. "This is a story that needs to be told," said Grier, "and these women are too humble to tell it themselves."

Grier now lives in Boerne, Texas, where she is active in the community, serves as precinct chair, participates in county politics and belongs to the Kendall County Republican Women.
