About Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a Russian-American writer and philosopher, best known for her novels and her development of a philosophical system called Objectivism. Born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Rand witnessed the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union, experiences that profoundly shaped her worldview. She emigrated to the United States in 1926, where she pursued a career in writing. Her magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, published in 1957, is a cornerstone of her literary and philosophical legacy. The novel explores themes of individualism, capitalism, and the role of government, and has had a lasting impact on libertarian and conservative thought.

Her contributions to literature and philosophy continue to spark debate and inspire readers and thinkers around the world.
