Joan Kennedy Taylor and the Rediscovery of Libertarian Feminism

Reclaiming the Mainstream was Joan’s book that placed the origins of the American feminist movement in the abolitionist movement of the 19th century. Joan Kennedy Taylor first became involved in the libertarian movement in the early 1960s, when she was a student at the Nathaniel Branden Institute in New York City. As a student of Objectivism, she espoused the political views of Ayn Rand.
