Time to dust off the switchblade - the SCUM Manifesto is back!
Time to dust off the switchblade - the SCUM Manifesto is back!
For over forty years, Valerie Solanas' biting polemic has delighted and terrified readers. SCUM is an indictment of patriarchal culture, a call to action, a radical feminist vision for a different world. Alternating between satire and seriousness, SCUM remains as a relevant today as when it was first written. Popular and divisive from its first publication, the SCUM Manifesto has proved an enduring classic and has been translated into over a dozen languages. This edition is an update of a best-selling AK Press backlist title, with a new introduction by American poet Michelle Tea.
Valerie Solanas (1936-1988) wrote "Up Your Ass," a play; appeared in 1, A Man, a film by Andy Warhol; and then shot Andy Warhol in 1968. She was sent to a psychiatric hospital and released after three years.
