摘要

Ayn Rand and her work are often ignored by feminist critics because of Rand's personal life, her views on sex, and her vehement rejections of collectivism. Feminism has moved through overlapping waves known as first, second, and third-wave feminism. Throughout its life feminism has been marked by two strands: relational and individual. The strand of individual feminism has been more prevalent in Anglo-American feminism while relational feminism has been more predominant in European feminism. Atlas Shrugged was published six years prior to Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique, a text generally agreed upon as the starting point for second-wave feminism. Elizabeth Spelman's work Inessential Woman exploded the second-wave monolithic approach to feminism, thus opening the door for third-wave feminism, a feminism focused upon individualized femininity as expressed through individual choices exercised through authentic lives.;In this thesis, I argue that Atlas Shrugged, widely praised as Ayn Rand's best novel due to its capitalistic, limited government message, offers fertile ground for feministic ideas. Dagny Taggart, at first glance, comes across simply as a masculine woman. Upon further investigation Dagny questions dualisms, societal conventions, and sexual roles that have created the subjugation of various people groups, especially females. Atlas Shrugged also points out the sanction offered by victims that propagates their disempowering circumstances. Underlying these themes is the idea of authentic freedom: the freedom from restriction coupled with the freedom to achieve one's full potential. Atlas Shrugged acts as a precursor for third-wave feminism because of its emphasis upon individuality and its questioning of societal constructs. Galt's Gulch symbolizes the type of free, empowering society desired by adherents of Ayn Rand and adherents of third-wave feminism.
机译：由于兰德（Rand）的个人生活，对性的看法以及对集体主义的强烈反对，女权主义评论家常常忽略了艾恩·兰德（Ayn Rand）及其作品。女权主义已经跨越了被称为第一，第二和第三波女权主义的重叠浪潮。女权主义在其一生中一直以两个方面为标志：关系和个人。个体女权主义在英美女权主义中更为普遍，而关系女权主义在欧洲女权主义中更为主流。 《耸耸肩》（Atlas Shrugged）在贝蒂·弗里丹（Betty Friedan）的《女性神秘》（The Feminine Mystique）出版六年之前出版，该文本通常被认为是第二波女权主义的起点。伊丽莎白·斯佩尔曼（Elizabeth Spelman）的作品《有思想的女人》（Inessential Woman）展开了第二波整体主义女权主义研究的方式，从而为第三波女权主义打开了大门，第三波女权主义侧重于通过真实生活中的个人选择所表达的个性化女性气质。耸耸肩，因其资本主义，有限的政府信息而被广泛赞誉为艾恩·兰德的最佳小说，为女性主义思想提供了沃土。乍看之下，达格尼·塔格（Dagny Taggart）只是一个阳刚的女人。在进一步调查中，达格尼质疑二元论，社会习俗和性角色，这些二元论，社会习俗和性角色导致了各种人群，尤其是女性的屈服。阿特拉斯耸耸肩还指出了受害者提供的制裁，这种制裁扩大了他们丧失权力的情况。这些主题的基础是真正的自由思想：不受限制的自由与实现个人全部潜能的自由。阿特拉斯·耸耸肩（Atlas Shrugged）成为第三波女权主义的先驱，因为它强调个性并质疑社会建构。高尔特的峡谷象征自由的类型，赋予了艾恩·兰德（Ayn Rand）信奉者和第三波女权主义信奉者所希望的社会。
