Scum Manifesto

First circulated on the streets of Greenwich Village in 1967, the "SCUM Manifesto" is a searing indictment of patriarchal culture in all its forms. Shifting fluidly between the worlds of satire and straightforward critique, this no-holds-barred classic is a call to action–a radical feminist vision for a different world. This is an update of the essential AK Press edition, with a new foreword.

Valerie Solanas was a radical feminist playwright and social propagandist who was arrested in 1968 after her attempted assassination of Andy Warhol. Deemed a paranoid schizophrenic by the state, Solanas was immortalized in the 1996 film "I Shot Andy Warhol."
