* TheDissenterIsAlwaysRight: In her novels, the 'complainer' (or loner or dissident) is always the hero. However, the [[AnAesop message]] is not nonconformist so much as it is revolutionary; Rand preached [[UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}} an ideology]] which was and is [[{{Ubermensch}} in conflict with most existing philosophical schools]], rather than a right to one's own opinion as such (which she was inconsistent on).

* Neil Peart of Music/{{Rush|Band}} originally [[AuthorAppeal put a lot of Objectivism into the band's lyrics]] and gave her a thank you credit in the liner notes of ''2112'', but as of the remaster removed it and has moved away from such vehement support (though when asked he says there ''are'' still areas where he agrees with her).

Ayn Rand born on February 2, (January 20 in the Julian calendar) 1905 and died on March 6, 1982) was a popular yet controversial writer from the latter half of the 20th century, and the creator of UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}}, a self-proclaimed philosophy which she expressed in her fiction -- especially ''Literature/TheFountainhead'' and ''Literature/AtlasShrugged.'' She also wrote the screenplay for the film of ''The Fountainhead'', but wasn't too happy with the final film (citing production design and other issues but mostly resenting the collaborative nature of film-making altogether).
