S.C.U.M. Manifesto. [Society for Cutting Up Men.]

First Edition, first book printing of this 1968 scarcity by one of the godmothers of what would become the early feminist movement, mainstreaming into "Women's Lib" in the 1970's. SOLANAS, Valerie's S.C.U.M. Manifesto. [Society for Cutting Up Men.] Bound in publisher's original printed wraps. Near Fine with light foxing and light wear to wraps, light sunning to spine and pages toned. A very desirable copy of this radical feminist manifesto whose author became famous when she non-fatally shot Pop artist Andy Warhol in 1968. Fascinating document, openly admitting that the movement was not about freedom to pursue opportunity but to "OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, ELIMINATE THE MONEY SYSTEM, INSTITUTE COMPLETE AUTOMATION AND DESTROY THE MALE SEX" (Page 1).
