Could you post(if it’s not too long or too much trouble) what Ayn Rand actually said about feminism in that book? Also, if possible, the year she advocated affirmative action and state enforcement of women’s hiring for jobs? The reason I ask this is I saw an interview with her that was taped in 1979. In it, she and the feminists were disgreeing strongly about affirmative action for women with Rand making a two wrongs don’t make a right type of argument against affirmative action for women. Rand sounded much more like Phyllis Schlafly in that exchange than Gloria Steinem.
Of course, people can be inconsistent and/or change their opinions over time, but I think it would be interesting to read considering how anti-statist and anti-collectivist Ayn Rand was and how pro-statist/collectivist the NOW gang was(and still is).

Nope. Book’s packed away. (We’re moving) But you can go to the nearest book store and get it for about $10.

I believe her comments were made around 1974. The book is a composition of many of her comments.
