[edit] Birthdate?

Can anybody cite that birthdate for me? I've got a textbook in front of me that says she was born "Circa 1913." Linkskywalker 03:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Neither of the external links seem to know how old she is either. http://mockingbird.creighton.edu/NCW/olsen.htm http://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/authors/about_tillie_olsen.html Linkskywalker 05:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I added the birth date 129.120.244.121 01:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I found a website that Tillie Olsen's daughters published. It is an online obituary http://www.tillieolsen.net/obituary.php They say she was born in 1912.
