{"product_id":"scum-manifesto-valerie-solanas-9781849351805","title":"Scum Manifesto","description":"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 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"To see the SCUM Manifesto's humor, to let it crack you up page after page, is not to read it as a joke. It's not. The truth of the world as seen though Valerie's eyes is patently absurd, a cosmic joke. Humor such as this is a muscle, a weapon... It was the truth, and the truth is so absurd it's painful.\" --Michelle Tea \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Unhampered by propriety, niceness, discretion, public opinion, 'morals', the respect of assholes, always funky, dirty, low-down SCUM gets around... You've got to go through a lot of sex to get to anti-sex, and SCUM's been through it all, and they're now ready for a new show; they want to crawl out from under the dock, move, take off, sink out.\" --Valerie Solanas \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eValerie Solanas\u003c\/b\u003e was a radical feminist playwright and social propagandist who was arrested in 1968 after her attempted assassination of Andy Warhol.
