Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A lightning bolt of feminist rage and a sophisticated riposte to the intellectual and social misogyny of the 1960s, here in its first UK edition.

Early excerpted appearance of Valerie Solanas' S.C.U.M. Manifesto, her famous tract for the Society of Cutting Up Men. According to the accompanying editorial introduction: "Valerie Solanis [sic] shot Andy Warhol, and appeared in print for the second time - this time the subject of countless news stories. Her first appearance was in a surprisingly well-written article on panhandling plus published in Cavalier. But her main act was public, in-the-park recitation of her life's obsession: SCUM Manifesto. Valerie wanted us to publish the manifesto over a year ago. It's worth exposure, but we're sorry these excerpts finally appear under the present circumstances." Not noted in that introduction is that alongside its recitation, Solanas also self-published and distributed the Manifesto around New York. Their bibliographical note on her print appearances is missing at least one earlier excerpt of SCUM Manifesto (in the Berkeley Barb in its June 7-13 issue that same year). The PR circus surrounding Solanas' shooting of Warhol resulted in not only her name in the news, but a clamor to publish her incendiary work: this and the Berkeley Barb were able to rush out in advance of the immediate publication of its trade edition on Maurice Girodias' Olympia Press, probably only by virtue of the nimbler turnaround inherent to newsprint periodicals. Beyond the Solanas excerpt, this issue also features fascinating counterculture features such as Paul Davidson's "Deal Acid and Avoid Getting Busted" and an installment of Charles Bukowski's "Dirty Old Man," the second published by the paper. Some soiling and handling wear; minor creasing and tears around edges; inked date (7-16-1968) to front cover; horizontal fold throughout; Very Good.

Paperback. First edition. First edition, first printing. With commentary "Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter" by Paul Krassner. With a portrait of Solanas by Fred W. McDarrah on the front cover and the June 4, 1968 New York Post cover "Andy Warhol Fights For Life". Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol in his studio on June 3, 1968. He was seriously injured but survived. The previous year, Solanas had written a radical separatist feminist "manifesto" that advocated the elimination of all men. After the attack she was arrested and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and served three years including a stay in a psychiatric hospital. Maurice Girodias of Olympia Press, had signed a contract with the author the year previously, so he published this book in 1968. There is an illegible dedication in pencil on the title page which has the top corner cut off. 105+[8] pp; 18x10,7 cm.

Vintage paperbacks, explicit manifestos for the "Society for Cutting Up Men," arguing that the world has been ruined by men and women the saviors. The author charged men $1 more than women upon the release of her self-published edition, a mimeographed book distributed mostly to Greenwich Village beatniks, hippies, and punks, and the treatise advocated for something close to anarchy and the elimination of males in general (but also "non-liberated women"). Widely regarded as the culmination of both anarchy and feminism, the title has seen several reprints, printings in different languages, and updated versions, yet these two first printings are in our estimate the real gems in any SCUM's collection, with the 2nd printing being somewhat scarcer. Both Very Good Plus overall, light rubbing and toning, light cover creases and faint corner wear to 2 corners (1st), and small scuff to rc (2nd). For mature audiences.

couverture souple. Olympia La Société Nouvelle | Paris 1971 | 11 x 18 cm | broché | Édition originale de la traduction française établie par Emmanuelle de Lesseps . Bel et très rare exemplaire. Présentation de Christiane Rochefort. Discrimination de genre, discours de haine et appel au génocide, passage à l'acte avec une tentative de meurtre rageur, prémédité et sans repentir sur l'un des plus célèbres artistes du XXè, promotion d'une anarchie violente dans un grand rire scatologique, élimination ou humiliation programmée de la moitié du genre humain. Dans son pamphlet misandre, Scum manifesto («Society for Cutting Up Men»), Valerie Solanas ne témoigne d'aucune empathie, ne laisse aucune place à la modération ou à la réconciliation, n'accorde aucune exception à son projet de suppression de tous les hommes sinon pour «les hommes qui s'emploient méthodiquement à leur propre élimination [.] [comme] les travelos qui, par leur exemple magnifique, encouragent les autres hommes à se démasculiniser et à se rendre ainsi relativement inoffensif». Le premier manifeste du féminisme radical ne s'adresse pas qu'aux femmes, il englobe également dans son combat les identités sexuelles rejetées par la société phallocrate que Solanas veut mettre à bas avec une rage inédite pour un tel combat. «Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.» Introduction qu'en 1971, Emmanuèle de Lesseps, s'attelant à une version française, traduira par: «Vivre dans cette société, c'est au mieux y mourir d'ennui. Rien dans cette société ne concerne les femmes. Alors, à toutes celles qui ont un brin de civisme, le sens des responsabilités et celui de la rigolade, il ne reste qu'à renverser le gouvernement, en finir avec l'argent, instaurer l'automation à tous les niveaux et supprimer le sexe masculin.» À la fois programme politique insurrectionnel, délire paranoïaque et texte poétique, le manifeste de Solanas dérange par son refus de se laisser enfermer dans un genre, sérieux, utopiste ou satirique. Car la question que pose un tel ouvrage n'est peut-être pas celle de sa moralité, mais du droit de son autrice à revendiquer l'excès. Publié après sa tentative de meurtre sur Andy Warhol, le terrible manifeste de Solanas est l'affirmation littéraire et littérale que l'homme n'a pas le monopole de la violence. Bien qu'il s'offre comme un cri de colère rédigé dans l'urgence, SCUM est en réalité le fruit de deux années de réflexion et d'écriture avant d'être, à défaut d'éditeur, ronéotypé par Solanas en 1967 et vendu dans la rue (1 pour les femmes et 2 pour les hommes), sans rencontrer aucun succès. En quête de reconnaissance, Valérie Solanas évolue alors dans le milieu underground new-yorkais et se lie d'amitié avec le pape de la contre-culture, Andy Warhol, dont elle fréquente la Factory. À défaut de pouvoir faire éditer son manifeste, «le meilleur texte de toute l'histoire, qui ne sera surpassé que par mon prochain livre», Solanas s'attèle à sa première uvre littéraire: Up your Ass, une pièce de théâtre qu'elle veut faire produire par son mentor. Malheureusement, Warhol refuse la pièce et en égare l'unique manuscrit. En compensation, il offre à son amie un rôle dans deux de ses films. Solanas ne se satisfait pas de ce petit succès artistique et, le 3 juin 1968, fera feu à trois reprises sur Andy Warhol, blessant grièvement l'artiste et accédant du même coup à la célébrité. La jeune femme ne cache pas que son geste meurtrier, plus qu'une vengeance contre l'artiste, est surtout un acte politique et une nécessité artistique pour lui permettre de diffuser son uvre. Ainsi, interrogée sur les motivations de sa tentative criminelle, elle soumet à la justice et aux médias cette réponse laconique: «Lisez mon manifeste, vou.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. New York: Olympia Press, 1968. 8vo, 105 p., original red wraps. First edition of this manifesto by the would be Andy Warhol assassin, with commentary 'Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter' by Paul Crasser. Solanas advocated the creation of a world without men, and though the work comes off as a parody, Solanas defended her ideas as serious. Her work in recent years has been revisited and she is now seen as an early feminist and gay rights activist. This is a VG copy, with small chip to front wrap adjacent front spine joint, chafing to wrap edges and front spine joint, minor creasing to wraps, with short crease to lower rear wrap; light discoloration to endpapers, lower outermost corner of several pages crimped; small stain to lower front page ends, previous owners signature to top of half title; text block toned, but a solid copy overall of a scarce title. This copy lacks a fep, though it may not have been bound with one (the final leaf is an Olympia Love Letters / Hate Letters advertisement.

First UK edition, first impression. Solanas wrote this radical feminist text between 1965 and 1967, self-publishing mimeographed copies to distribute in New York (selling them for one dollar to women, two dollars to men), the text of which differs slightly to this edition and lacks the introductions by Maurice Girodias and Vivian Gornick added here. The manifesto opens: "Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex". The controversial text, which has been interpreted both straightforwardly and as a parody of patriarchal philosophical tracts, has become notorious. It is nevertheless now seen as a key piece of the 1960s feminist canon, with radical feminist activists of the time finding within it "something no one else was articulating: a wild and uncompromising insistence that female subordination was utterly primal. What it voiced was new and profoundly compelling: incandescent, unladylike rage, which, once unleashed, fundamentally reshaped the women's movement" (Hamilton). In 1968 Solanas was sentenced to a three-year prison term for shooting Andy Warhol, an event referenced on the rear cover of this work. Solanas's life was the basis for the 1996 film I Shot Andy Warhol.

First edition in book form, first printing, a bright copy. Solanas wrote this radical feminist text between 1965 and 1967, self-publishing mimeographed copies to distribute in New York. The text of her mimeographed edition differs slightly but significantly to this and lacks the commentaries by Maurice Girodias and Paul Krassner added here. Interpreted both straightforwardly and as a parody of patriarchal philosophical tracts, the controversial text quickly became notorious. The manifesto's memorable opening line issues a call to arms: "Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex". Radical feminist activists of the time found within it "something no one else was articulating: a wild and uncompromising insistence that female subordination was utterly primal.
