About the Author
Valerie Solanas (1936-1988) was a writer and artist. She completed SCUM Manifesto in 1967 and her play Up Your Ass in 1965; the latter was never published in her lifetime. As a result of her attempt to assassinate Andy Warhol in 1968, Solanas was involuntarily committed to psychiatric hospitalization. She was institutionalized a number of times in the years that followed, always living radically on the fringes of society.
Reviews
"The manuscript's épater la bourgeoisie sensibility, shot through with clichés about race and sexuality, places it squarely in the twentieth century. But the text also outlines a space of genderqueer possibility that wouldn't be theorized for years, advocates for sex workers' rights, and sketches the dark future of reproductive technology through allusions to biological determinism."
--Wendy Vogel, Artforum
