Feminist Interpretations of Ayn Rand

THE RANDIAN-FEMINISM MAILING LIST

The Randian-Feminism Mailing List is a forum for Objectivist and Randian Feminists -- people who share a common interest in Feminist philosophy, issues and perspectives, and in Ayn Rand's ideas and philosophy.  Thomas Gramstad created the list on January 14, 1998. 

On March 1, 1999, the list began a structured discussion of Feminist Interpretations of Ayn Rand.  The conference concluded four months later.   The co-moderators of the discussion were Thomas Gramstad and Bryan Register.  Some of the key introductory and contributor comments are archived here under the Title of the Articles listed below.
