SCUM Manifesto and the Twig Benders
SCUM Manifesto and the Twig Benders
The SCUM Manifesto, the most violent of the 60s and 70s' feminist texts was written in 1967. For the fiftieth anniversary of this prophetic text advocating the most radical feminism, since it purely and simply considers the suppression of the male sex, we offers this edition, with introduction and notes of Aline d'Arbrant. At the same time, Valerie Solanas was a friend of this other radical feminist, Wilda Chase, and we added to this edition the short novel that this ither gynarchist wrote the same year "The Twig Benders". The future gynarchist and cruel she described is an heterosexual response to the disappearance of males suggested the "SCUM Manifesto" and thus finds its perfect place here.
