I haven’t read that book, but I read nearly all of hers (fiction as well as about a dozen non-fiction), and nothing she wrote struck me as being supportive of “feminism” or government set asides.

She did refute “multiculturalism”, “affirmative action”, and other unearned preferences. I don’t see how she would’ve supported anything but government blindness to all traits except merit.

Any Rand was NOT a feminist. She agreed with some points like women working and abortion rights, but not much more.

She had a thing about worshipping men. As a man, I must say, it sounds pretty on target to me. ;) Beside any great man you’ll find a great woman. I guess I’m old-fashioned that way.
