SCUM Manifesto is a self-published manifesto by American radical feminist Valerie Solanas.[1] Published in 1967, it argues that men have ruined the world, and that it is up to women to fix it. To achieve this goal, it suggests the formation of SCUM, an organization dedicated to overthrowing society and eliminating the male sex. The SCUM Manifesto has been described as a satire or parody, especially due to its parallels with Freud's theory of femininity, though this has been disputed, including by Solanas herself.[2][3] The term SCUM appeared on the cover of the first edition from Olympia Press, as "S.C.U.M." and was said to stand for "Society for Cutting Up Men".[4] Solanas objected, insisting that it was not an acronym, although the expanded term appeared in a Village Voice ad she had written in 1967.[5] The SCUM Manifesto was little-known until Solanas attempted to murder Andy Warhol in 1968. This event brought significant public attention to the SCUM Manifesto and Solanas herself.[6
