Ayn Rand (b. Alice Rosenbaum) was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Escaping from Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years. She attained a worldwide fame and a readership numbering in the millions.
