ITEM OVERVIEW
"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.
On the shooting of Andy Warhol: I consider that a moral act. And I consider it immoral that I missed. I should have done target practice."
—Valerie Solanas
This is 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 gained underground notoriety when she shot, and nearly killed, Andy Warhol. Her classic Scum Manifesto went through several self-published and small-press editions before sinking into obscurity. Valerie Solanas gained posthumous international celebrity status with the release of the film I Shot Andy Warhol.
Wonderful advocation of the overthrow of the government, elimination of the money system, and the destruction of the male sex. A truly awesome polemic from the woman who shot Andy Warhol. An essential text. Includes a biography of the author by Freddie Baer.
