Anne Wilde

Anne B. Wilde is an American author and advocate on behalf of fundamentalist Mormon polygamists. She is a co-founder of Principle Voices, a group whose purpose is to counter anti-polygamy messages, build bridges between fundamentalist Mormon groups and outside communities, and for the decriminalization of polygamy.

Wilde is the second wife of Ogden Kraut, a prolific writer on fundamentalist Mormon history topics and doctrines. They married in 1969 while members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Kraut was excommunicated in 1972, but Wilde was able to keep her marriage to Kraut a secret for many decades. She was excommunicated sometime after 2002 and speaks on behalf of polygamists. She is a co-author of Voices in Harmony: Contemporary Women Celebrate Plural Marriage.
