The one slogan-word that has nothing to do with the collective is "Liberty." Although its adoption by the society was perhaps due to the association with "Equality" and "Fraternity" in the slogan of the French Revolution, its use stands out in a society that has no liberty whatsoever[...]
The name Liberty 5-3000, moreover, is the name given to the heroine, from Shoshana Milgram Knapp, "Ayn Rand’s Anthem: Self-Naming, Individualism, and Anonymity", Names: A Journal of Onomastics 64, no. 2 (2016): 78–87, here 83.

monogamous and reproductive—pregnant by Equality at the end of the novella. This sentimental romance-to-maternity plotline stands alone in Rand’s original fiction, to be replaced later by intensely eroticized romantic triangles, no pregnancies in sight, from Lisa Duggan, Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed (University of California Press, 2019), 44.

Liberty is described as an ideal Randian imperial subject, from Lisa Duggan, Mean Girl: Ayn Rand and the Culture of Greed (University of California Press, 2019), 44. And
By the final chapter, Rand has elevated the penitent Equality 7-2521 to a titan and reduced the once-steely Liberty 5-3000 to a frivolous trophy wife, from Thomas Horan, Desire and Empathy in Twentieth-century Dystopian Fiction (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), 140.
Created by Hydrangeans ( talk). Self-nominated at 20:59, 10 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Liberty 5-3000; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The first three hooks are problematic as they rely solely on the fictional content of Anthem—does that include ALT2? Since that hook places Anthem in the context of the real-life person Rand's wider corpus, with it being different from most of her usually love triangle-filled stories, is that a hook that involves content outside the fictional story of Anthem? As for the lead problem, I've revised the lead so that instead of saying in wikivoice Liberty 5-3000 is an 'unconquered heroine', it's instead repeating part of the quote calling her
"as spiritually unconquered as" Equality 7-2521, quoting the CliffsNotes. In other words, the lead sentence now states,
In scholarly analyses, Liberty 5-3000 has been considered a "spiritually unconquered" character who is on par with Equality 7-2521 and a submissive trophy wife who is ultimately passive. And the quotation has a citation note appended to it, the same one as used to verify the statement, with attribution to the author, in the body text. Does that resolve the issue in the lead and make ALT2 and ALT3 good to go? If I misunderstood any part of the problem, do let me know. Hydrangeans (she/her) ( talk | edits) 22:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
