With this book, Rose Wilder Lane helped reignite a passion for classical liberal ideas in America. She is considered one of the "Founding Mothers" of Libertarianism, along with Ayn Rand and Isabel Paterson, each of whom published significant books in 1943.
Lane was the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House on the Prairie series of children's books.
