This foundational no-holds-barred feminist text has continued to enthrall readers both young and old. In the wake of the Pussy Riot scandal and the post-Occupy moment, a new confrontational feminism has re-emerged, pulling this classic text back into the spotlight. Valerie Solanas, the would be assassin of Andy Warhol, has been the subject of popular films, music, and novels. The original AK Press edition of SCUM Manifesto has sold well over 20,000 copies.
