SCUM Manifesto was considered one of the most outrageous, violent and certifiably crazy tracts when it first appeared in 1968. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published this work just before her rampage against the king of Pop Art made her a household name and resulted in her confinement to a mental institution.

Publication date 1967 (self-published) 1968 (commercial publication) Pages Original edition: 21 & cover p. SCUM Manifesto is a by, published in 1967. It argues that men have ruined the world, and that it is up to women to fix it. To achieve this goal, it suggests the formation of SCUM, an organization dedicated to overthrowing society and.
The Manifesto is widely regarded as satirical, but based on legitimate philosophical and social concerns. It has been reprinted at least 10 times in English, translated into 13 languages, and excerpted several times. The term 'SCUM' appeared on the cover of the first edition from as 'S.C.U.M.' And was said to stand for 'Society for Cutting Up Men'. Solanas objected, insisting that it was not an acronym, although the expanded term appeared in a ad she had written in 1967.
Solanas held a series of recruitment meetings for SCUM at the where she lived, but a decade later insisted that the organization was 'just a literary device' and never really existed. The Manifesto was little-known until Solanas attempted to kill in 1968. This event brought significant public attention to the Manifesto and Solanas herself. While some feminists, such as and, defended Solanas and considered the Manifesto a valid criticism of, others, such as, considered Solanas's views to be too radical and polarizing. An ad placed by Solanas in, April 27, 1967 Influence The Manifesto, according to Lyon, is 'notorious and influential' and was 'one of the earliest.
and one of the most radical' tracts produced by 'various strands of the American women's liberation movement'. Lyon said that 'by 1969 it had become a kind of bible' for, in Boston.
According to a 2012 article by Arthur Goldwag on the, 'Solanas continues to be much-read and quoted in some feminist circles.' Whether the Manifesto should be considered a feminist classic is challenged by Heller because the Manifesto rejected a hierarchy of greatness, but she said it 'remains an influential feminist text.'
Women and shooting Laura Winkiel argues that Solanas' shooting of and was directly tied to the Manifesto. After shooting Warhol, Solanas told a reporter, 'Read my manifesto and it will tell you what I am.'
Heller, however, states that Solanas 'intended no connection between the manifesto and the shooting'. Harding suggests that 'there is no clear indication in Solanas' ambiguous statement to reporters that the contents of the manifesto would explain the specifics of her actions, at least not in the sense of providing a script for them.' Harding views the SCUM Manifesto as an 'extension, not the source, of performative acts, even a violent one act like the shooting of Warhol.' Winkiel argues that revolutionary moved to the U.S. 'convinced that a women's revolution had begun', forming with a program based on the Manifesto. According to Winkiel, although Solanas was 'outraged' at the women's movement's 'appropriation' of the Manifesto, 'the shooting of Warhol represented the feminist movement's righteous rage against patriarchy' and Dunbar and considered the Manifesto as having initiated a 'revolutionary movement', Atkinson (according to Rich) calling Solanas the 'first outstanding champion of women's rights' and probably (according to Greer) having been 'radicalized' by the language of the Manifesto to leave the (NOW), and (according to Winkiel) women organized in support of Solanas.
Solanas was viewed as too mentally ill and too bound up with Warhol, according to Greer, 'for her message to come across unperverted.' According to Prof.
Davis, the Manifesto was a 'forerunner' as a 'call to arms among pragmatic American feminists' and was 'enjoying. Wide contemporary appeal'. According to Winkiel, the Manifesto 'was. Influential in the spread of 'womansculture' and lesbian separatism' and is also 'credited with beginning the antipornography movement.' Friedan opposed the Manifesto as bad for the feminist movement and NOW. Film Scum Manifesto is also the title of a 1976 short film directed by and.
In the film, Seyrig reads several passages from a French translation of Solanas's manifesto. Warhol later satirized the whole event in a subsequent movie, calling a group similar to Solanas's S.C.U.M., 'P.I.G.' (Politically Involved Girlies). Solanas's creative work and relationship with Warhol is depicted in the 1996 film, a significant portion of which relates to the SCUM Manifesto, and Solanas's disputes on notions of authorship with Warhol.

A fictionalized version of Valerie Solanas, played by the actress, recited the manifesto throughout the episode. Literature The title story of the collection, employs the Manifesto to illustrate the male protagonist's hatred of himself and his gender. In 2006, Swedish author published a semi-fictional biography of Valerie Solanas, (The Dream Faculty), in which the Manifesto is referred to on several occasions.
Parts of the Manifesto are also cited in the book. Said that Solanas in the Manifesto 'talks at length about what she considers maleness and the male psyche. Basically men being halfway between humans and apes, these kind of lumbering lumps of meat, predatory lumps of meat', and that 'it's quite wonderful to read. and there was an aspect of that I felt rang true.' Cave wrote a novel, for which he 'invented a character that was Valerie Solanas's male incarnate.'
