That's interesting fantasyfan: I hadn't known, or at any rate remembered that she was a member of the Inklings.
Looks like I have to correct myself! Dorothy Sayers was a friend of Charles Williams and C. S. Lewis and read papers in other societies frequented by the Inklings but it seems--according to Lewis himself--that she was never actually a member.
