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.In this edition, philosopher Avital Ronell's introduction reconsiders the evocative exuberance of this infamous text.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Width: 8mmContributor: Avital Ronell (Introduction by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Gender Sex & RelationshipsRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
