Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published the book just before she became a notorious household name and was confined to a mental institution. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as the mere rantings of a lesbian lunatic. In fact, the work has proved prescient, not only as a radical feminist analysis light years ahead of its time—predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against underrepresentation in the arts—but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this edition, philosopher Avital Ronell’s introduction reconsiders the evocative exuberance of this infamous text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Featherheart Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48201171599584,"sku":"9781784784409","price":2615.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/4987\/2096\/files\/9781784784409.jpg?v=1764854539","url":"https:\/\/featherheartbooks.com\/products\/scum-manifesto","provider":"Featherheart Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
