Here is a reconsideration of Solanas's infamous text in light of her social milieu, Derrida's "The Ends of Man" (written in the same year), Judith Butler's Excitable Speech, Nietzsche's Ubermensch and notorious feminist icons from Medusa, Medea and Antigone, to Lizzie Borden, Lorenna Bobbit and Aileen Wournos, illuminating the evocative exuberance of Solanas's dark tract. In fact, the work has indisputable prescience, not only as a radical feminist analysis light-years ahead of its time predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against under-representation in the arts but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as unhinged. First circulated on the streets of Greenwich Village in 1967, the SCUM Manifesto is a searing. 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.

Each spread includes one or two breath-centered exercises to encourage a habit and practice of mindfulness.

As for the nonsense of her being e x p l o i t e d as a young girl, every body who acted with her both male and female claimed that the enthusiasm shown in her films was totally genuine. She could even dance erotically in sympathy with the music, which the vast majority of professional strippers cannot do. Her breasts were toned, tear-drop shaped with soft nipples and smooth areolas, while her buttocks were as hard as a rock and her pussy was moist with fleshy inner labia. Her body was slender, toned and sinuous with long, elegant legs. Her face was finely proportioned with delicate features, clear complexion and a succulent pouting mouth.
