The Woman and The Dynamo: Isabel Paterson & The Idea of AmericaThis is an excellent biography of Ayn Rand's mentor and long-time best friend, and one of the founders of the modern libertarian movement. I highly recommend it. Here's one of the blurbs on the back, from Nathaniel Branden:

"I picked up The Woman and The Dynamo without knowing what to expect -- and couldn't put it down. It is more than a beautifully written, utterly absorbing biography of a great libertarian thinker who deserves wider recognition that she has hitherto received. It offers insightful portraits of some of the key figures in the march of libertarianism and free enterprise conservatism through the twentieth century."

You can also see the review of the book in Reason Magazine here.
