I'm not overly-familiar with her philosophy, either. I've just absorbed what other people have said about her works to get an impression.
But from what I've gathered, she attempts to show that the individual should never be held back, no matter what the cost. It seems she tries to say that if you have the skills and ability to accomplish something, how it affects others should not come into consideration. She advocates that the goals of the individual trump that of society.
Apparently, she was extremely affected by living under a socialist regime(Stalin?), and it's almost as if her reaction was to go to the extreme on the other end of the spectrum.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
