		Solanas began to believe that her difficulties achieving financial success were exclusively due to Warhol, and on June 3, 1968 she caught up with Warhol as he entered the studio and fired three shots.
		Another member, Florynce Kennedy represented Solanas at her trial, calling her "one of the most important spokeswomen of the feminist movement." After her release from prison in 1971, she was regarded by some as a martyr, yet she harassed Warhol and others over the phone, prompting the police to arrest her again.
		Solanas drifted into obscurity (and in and out of mental hospitals) although an interview with her was published in the Village Voice in 1977.

	I Shot Andy Warhol (Philosophical Films)
		Solanas was sentenced to a few years in prison for attempted murder, subsequently was in and out of various mental institutions, and died in 1988 at age 52 from pneumonia.
		Valerie’s life was a bit of a paradox: as a prostitute she lived out the worst male expectations of women, yet she protested against the male exploitation of women – even to the point of wanting all men dead.
		Solanas repeatedly advocates a female-only society and touts her view that men are biologically inferior to women.

		From 1960 Solanas lived on the New York streets, cynically selling her body, which she knew was a reliable source of income.
		Solanas held her views alone and bythe time there were feminist networks in place to appreciate her work, she had moved on to further extremes.

	Valerie Solanas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valerie Jean Solanas (April 9, 1936 – April 26, 1988) was an American radical feminist writer who struggled to be recognized for her writing but became famous for having shot the artist Andy Warhol in 1968.
		Solanas dominates the improvised conversation, leading the bewildered actor through a dialogue about everything from "squishy asses," "men's tits," and lesbian "instinct." Ultimately, she leaves him to fend for himself, explaining "I gotta go beat my meat" as she exits the scene.
		Solanas made statements to the arresting officer and at the arraignment hearing that Warhol had "too much control" over her and that Warhol was planning to steal her work.

	i shot andy warhol
		A hustler and writer of feminist pamphlets (the SCUM Manifesto, which remains essential, hyperbolic reading), Solanas meets drag queen Candy Darling (a striking performance by Stephen Dorff), who is her ticket into the notorious Warhol Factory.
		Solanas wants Warhol to produce a play she's written, but it's too extreme even for him, and he blows her off.
		The bubble of his artifice would burst against the sharp edges of Valerie Solanas, who was as serious as a loaded gun.

		Solanas is quite a departure for Coates, who is known for avant-garde operas driven by technological wizardry and abstruse texts.
		Although Solanas herself was a total loner, she's been taken up by punks, anarchists, and surrealistswho hate Warholas well as young radical feminists, gender benders, and assorted fans of Kathy Acker and cartoonist Diane di Massa's homicidal lesbian terrorist.
		Oddly, Miller and Solanas had converged once before, when Solanas thrust a SCUM leaflet into his hands in the lobby of the Chelsea Hotel sometime in the '60s.

		THE SHOOTING of pop artist Andy Warhol by the unhinged feminist-separatist Valerie Solanas is, weirdly, given cinematic endorsement in director/writer Mary Harron's I Shot Andy Warhol.
		Solanas finished her life homeless in San Francisco, dying early of pneumonia; Warhol, shaken by the assault, went on to find himself a better class of parasites to hang around with.
		Harron's screenplay follows Solanas from the shooting back in time to her graduation from the University of Maryland and her days on the streets.

	I Shot Andy Warhol \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Site not responding. Last check: )
		A fearless lunatic, outrageously lucid in her hostility, Valerie Solanas was half brilliant and half crazy, and that's just how Lili Taylor plays her -- as a woman in weirdly rational thrall to her own demons; she's like a feminist Raskolnikov crossed with one of the Dead End Kids.
		Valerie is courted by a hip Eurotrash publisher (Lothaire Bluteau), who signs her to a book contract.
		The Valerie we see is as obsessed with men as she is repelled by them; Warhol and his cult, with their bitch/drag/Marilyn fixation on Femininity as Image, fetishize women and, on some level, despise them.

	Gifts of Speech - Valerie Solanas
		Valerie Solanas' SCUM Manifesto was written in 1967 and published in 1968, the year she shot and wounded Andy Warhol.
		The text used here is that of the 1983 edition of the Manifesto which was published by the Matriarchy Study Group.
		Men who are rational, however, won't kick or struggle or raise a distressing fuss, but will just sit back, relax, enjoy the show and ride the waves to their demise.

		The band named themselves after Valerie Solanas, the would be assassin of Andy Warhol and author of the feminist S.C.U.M Manifesto.
		Solanas is seen as a crackpot by many, as are Jo, Vix and Elvis, but the band were inspired by the way she acted upon her beliefs no matter how extreme and with little support.
		Valerie's sound is very much a product of their inspirations - punk, riot girl, lo fi, no fi, d.i.y, pop and lately even signs of a naive hip hop.

		Solanas surmised her perceptions not from a high vantage point where all things are cleared and irrefutable but from the underbelly of our society.
		Perhaps the greatest tragedy of Salanas's manifesto is the unintentional admission of her "passiveness" to accept the abuse voluntarily; imposing the sexual trauma on to herself which in itself is the core of this society's sexual disfunction and of hers.
		Thus, the fate of Valerie Solanas can't be dismiss as outlandish, relegated to those who are of no consequence, to the insane.

		Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz wrote "From the Cradle to the Boat," a remembrance of Valerie Solanas in honor of the opening of the play.
		While I don't think attempted murder was the answer for Valerie Solanas, I do understand her anger, at him and at men in general.

	Valerie Solanas
		The background, briefly: Solanas submitted her manuscript, one of only two copies, to Warhol in 1965, hoping he would produce it.
		Instead, he lost it and, so the legend goes, it was her rage over this treatment of her script that prompted Solanas to shoot Warhol.
		Indeed, if we look at the author for whom Bongi is a stand in, even as the work itself stands as a proof of her subversion, still, to try to get it out, she was left relying on a man, Warhol.

		Actress Geraldine Smith, who appeared in Warhol's Bad (1977), insists not only that Solanas is still among the living but that the radical feminist is trying to kill her.
		According to Smith, Solanas always thought she should have gotten the Bad role because she believed Warhol got the story idea from her SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto.
		Valerie Solanas was, not surprisingly, unavailable for comment.

	SCUM Manifesto
		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.
		Valerie Solanas (1936–1988) wrote “Up Your Ass,” a play; appeared in I, A Man, a film by Andy Warhol; and then shot Andy Warhol in 1968.

	Lili Taylor - The Advocate
		"Valerie was comfortable saying 'I'm a fucking lesbian,' but I don't think she was comfortable with it," Taylor reflects.
		Fittingly, at a festival in which Taylor seemed to be present everywhere (she also appeared in the Sundance hits Girls Town and Cold Fever), her turn as Solanas was recognized with a first-time-ever special prize for acting.
		In contrast to the excesses, of playing Solanas, Taylor says, creating her lesbian character in Ready to Wear was all about knowing when to stop.

	Valerie Solanas (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This icon is brought to you by the letters S, C, U, and M. The SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto was the brain child of damaged, disenfranchised, groovy, Valerie Solanas who, for her next trick went on to shoot Andy Warhol, thereby earning a lot more than those clichéd 15 minutes of fame.
		Val's reasoning was based on her belief that the male of the species is a "biological accident an incomplete female a walking abortion." Her Manifesto is a jolly little read, depicting a world where "free-wheeling females" will "unwork" in order to undermine society, and then destroy it completely.
		Sadly, Valerie admitted SCUM was a "hypothetical literary device" but this doesn't make it any less compelling and SCARY.

	Feminist who "Shot Warhol'
		Her determination to be a somebody in Warhol's early Factory empire of the '60s - a haven for junkie drag queens, slumming royalty and self-proclaimed degenerates - was both her shot at mortality and her undoing.
		Warhol was both fascinated and repulsed by her: He featured Solanas reading from her manifesto in his '67 film "I, a Man," and tried to welcome her in his clique until she became convinced that he was trying to destroy her after losing a copy of her script.
		As played by Lili Taylor, and brought to the screen by writer-director Mary Harron in her first feature, Solanas was the original "riot grrrl," sexy, smart and subversive, but not at all well.

	SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas
		Written at the height of unrest in the 1960's, her manifesto stands as the most vehement piece of anti-male rhetoric ever written.
		Valerie's basic premise is that men are not fully human: their Y chromosome is a partial X chromosome.
		Valerie has a simple solution to the problem: kill men.

	Spiral Nature - Reviews - Book Reviews - Valerie Solanas
		The SCUM Manifesto has been published off and on since 1967; it was written by Valerie Solanas, the woman who, in 1968, shot Andy Warhol.
		It's essentially a feminist manifesto pointing out the inequalities found in society between men and women, reversing the traditional stereotypes and laying the blame on thick and pointing out the inadaquacy of each gender.
		It's hardly a particularly well thought out philosophy, for example, Solanas states that passivity is exclusively a male trait, but that they (actively) force it upon women, who (passively) accept it.
