Timothy Sandefur (a prolific writer and vice president for litigation at the Goldwater Institute) has written a book on Isabel Paterson, Rose Wilder Lane, and Ayn Rand’s efforts to defend liberty in an age of tyranny. The book covers the works of these three great women and their relationships between 1925 and 1945. It describes their novels and nonfiction writings and explains how their writing was influenced by the literature and the politics of the day, especially by the work of Sinclair Lewis and the advent of the New Deal. The book, tentatively titled “The Furies: How Isabel Paterson, Rose Wilder Lane, and Ayn Rand Found Freedom in an Age of Tyranny,” is scheduled for publication in November 2022. Prometheus Foundation provided Timothy a grant to enable publication and marketing of the book through the Cato Institute.
Timothy Sandefur and his partners at Goldwater Institute want to launch a fellowship program for newly graduated law school students who will be trained in applying and advancing the principles of objective law. As a pilot program, they plan to bring on one fellow in 2022 and train him in the principles of objective law and how they apply to actual cases and courtrooms. Ultimately they aim to establish this as a regular fellowship at Goldwater Institute.
