A re-reading of the Randian corpus from the multiple vantage points of contemporary feminism.
Philosophy / Women's Studies / Political Theory
This landmark anthology is the first to critically engage the writings of Ayn Rand from feminist perspectives. The interdisciplinary feminist strategies of re-reading Rand range from the lightness of camp to the darkness of de Sade, from post-androgyny to post-structuralism. A highly charged dialogue on Rand's legacy provides the forum for a re-examination of feminism and its relationship to egoism, individualism, and capitalism. Rand's place in contemporary feminism is assessed through comparisons with other twentieth-century feminists, such as de Beauvoir, Wolf, Paglia, Eisler, and Gilligan. What results is as provocative in its implications for Rand's system as it is for feminism.
Contributors are Barbara Branden, Nathaniel Branden, Diana Mertz Brickell, Susan Love Brown, Susan Brownmiller, Mimi Reisel Gladstein, Thomas Gramstad, Melissa Jane Hardie, Barbara Grizzuti Harrison, Valerie Loiret-Prunet, Wendy McElroy, Karen Michalson, Camille Paglia, Sharon Presley, Robert Sheaffer, Joan Kennedy Taylor, Barry Vacker, and Judith Wilt.
