She was an influential member of several organizations founded by LGBTI women of color, most notably: The Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press (with Audre Lorde, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gusset).

The Myrna Bain Scholarship at John Jay College is dedicated to her memory.〔( Myrna Bain scholarship fundraiser concert )〕
Bain was also influential as the teacher of many published feminist writers in the United States and internationally including Dorothea Smartt, Donna Aza-Weir Soley, Tracie Morris and Marianne Goodreax-Fielder. Bain was an active writer who associated with other luminaries such as Amiri Baraka, Quincy Troupe, Audre Lorde and most notably, James Baldwin.
==Personal life==
Bain was born in Florida and, along with many black families, moved north during the great African-American migration. Her family ultimately settled in the Bronx borough of New York City. Her parents divorced but were active in her upbringing. Bain had a sibling, Julian Bain (d. 2007). Myrna’s early years were spent in one of the numerous wood frame homes owned by working class African Americans. Upon the initiation of the Robert Moses public works project, Myrna’s home was razed and her family relocated to a Bronx based housing project. This event would color Bain’s work throughout her career. 〔http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=qNMQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CYwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6553%2C682360〕
