Apologies if this is not of interest to those on this list. However, Rand is a philosopher who has had a big impact -- for better or for worse -- on our movement, do you think?

From: Chris Sciabarra [SMTP:cms10@is2.nyu.edu] Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 1999 12:03 AM Subject: Feminist Interpretations of Ayn Rand
This is a follow-up to an earlier announcement; I received many
inquiries about this book from PNS subscribers. This follow-up
includes additional information about the just-published volume:
It is February 2, 1999, the 94th anniversary of Ayn Rand's birth - -
and the publication day for a landmark anthology that engages Rand's
system of thought from the diverse perspectives of contemporary
feminism.
FEMINIST INTERPRETATIONS OF AYN RAND, co-edited by Mimi Reisel
Gladstein and Chris Matthew Sciabarra, has been published by Penn
State Press as part of its series, "Re-Reading the Canon."
Ultimately, this series will feature more than twenty volumes, each
devoted to another major philosopher in the Western canon. Rand takes
her place alongside such thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel,
and Nietzsche.
The Rand volume, printed simultaneously in paperback and clothbound
editions, features four reprinted articles and fifteen original
essays. 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.
