Scum Manifesto by Valerie Solanas
"Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex."--Valerie Solanas
The definitive edition of probably the finest polemic in the world. It contains a new afterword detailing the life and death of Valerie Solanas.
Valerie Solanas was a radical feminist dramatist and social propagandist best known for self-publishing and selling the SCUM Manifesto on the streets of New York. After an assassination attempt on Andy Warhol's life in 1968, she was caught and imprisoned for three years. Solanas hounded Warhol for several more years after being released from prison, despite the fact that the state had labeled him a paranoid schizophrenic. She died in San Francisco alone and in relative obscurity in 1988, leaving behind a stack of typewritten papers that her mother burnt after her death. In the 1996 film I Shot Andy Warhol, actress Lili Taylor played Solanas.
