BYU web site {http://mormonlit.byu.edu/lit_author.php?a_id=444 } lists Sillitoe as a significant "Mormon" poet. But, assertion that she was LDS was removed and labeled "false". Sources please. WBardwin (talk) 23:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree we need a better source for this, since it is possible she wasn't a Mormon but was intimately involved with the Mormon literary scene. Her obituary in the SL Tribune says she was "a key figure on the Mormon literary scene" and an early voice for Mormon feminism. It also quotes Lavina Fielding Anderson on one of Sillitoe's novels that "made her the voice of a sisterhood taking both Mormonism and motherhood seriously." This all sounds very Mormon and I would be very surprised if she wasn't a church member. ——Rich jj (talk) 22:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
