Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a Russian-born novelist and philosopher who emigrated to the United States at the age of 21. She worked for a few years in Hollywood editing and re-writing screenplays, then went on to write her own novels, including the two best-sellers The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. She later defined a revolutionary philosophy she called Objectivism, which upholds reason, individualism, egoism and laissez-faire capitalism. |

In 1999, the United States Postal Service honored Ayn Rand with a commemorative stamp (right) as part of their American Literary Arts series. For more on Ayn Rand's life, her philosophy and the many successful efforts to spread her ideas in our culture, visit The Ayn Rand Institute, the center for the advancement of Objectivism. |
