Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982) was an American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, Rand moved to the United States in 1926.  After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful in America, she achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead.
