The book is an expression of violent rage, of years of being on the receiving end of male violence, of frustration, of minor annoyances. One of the best paragraphs is a list of all the men she particularly hates, which includes clear candidates like policemen and rapists, alongside “litterbugs” and “owners of greasy spoons and restaurants that play Muzak”.

Justine Kurland’s new project, SCUMB Manifesto, which is currently showing at Higher Pictures Generation, employs Solanas’s idea as the basis for further development. With Society for Cutting Up Men’s Books, Kurland evokes Solanas’s dream matriarchal utopia by physically clearing out her personal library of photography books by male artists. “The point of these collages is to annihilate the influence of these men who were introduced to me through my schooling and reinforced by museums, galleries, and publications,” Kurland says of her recent work. Cutting up and collaging images taken by canonized figures of photography is a symbolic act of dismembering the patriarchy by making room for women photographers who have been denied such veneration. a b Faso, Frank; Lee, Henry (June 5, 1968).

Many females would, even assuming complete economic equality between the sexes, prefer living with males or peddling their asses on the street, thus having most of their time for themselves, to spending many hours of their days doing boring, stultifying, non-creative work for someone else, functioning as less than animals, as machines, or, at best – if able to get a “good” job – co-managing the shitpile. What will liberate women, therefore, from male control is the total elimination of the money-work system, not the attainment of economic equality with men within it. In the mid-1960s, Solanas moved to New York City and supported herself through begging and prostitution. [18] [20] In 1965 she wrote two works: an autobiographical [21] short story, "A Young Girl's Primer on How to Attain the Leisure Class", and a play, Up Your Ass, [c] about a young prostitute. [18] According to James Martin Harding, the play is "based on a plot about a woman who 'is a man-hating hustler and panhandler' and who... ends up killing a man." [22] Harding describes it as more a "provocation than... a work of dramatic literature" [23] and "rather adolescent and contrived." [22] The short story was published in Cavalier magazine in July 1966. [24] [25] Up Your Ass remained unpublished until 2014. [26] Violet, Ultra (1990).
