Scum Manifesto - 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.
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"
ÑValerie 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.
