Breanne Fahs - Valerie Solanas, the unwitting Icon of Feminism
Breanne Fahs - Valerie Solanas, the unwitting Icon of Feminism
Feb 28, 2023
Dr Breanne Fahs joins Ed Opperman to talk about Valerie Solanas, one of the trailblazers of the feminist movement.Too drastic, too crazy, too "out there," too early, too late, too damaged, too much—Valerie Solanas has been dismissed but never forgotten. She has become, unwittingly, a figurehead for women's unexpressed rage, and stands at the center of many worlds. She inhabited Andy Warhol's Factory scene, circulated among feminists and the counter cultural underground, charged men money for conversation, despised "daddy's girls," and outlined a vision for radical gender dystopia. Known for shooting Andy Warhol in 1968 and for writing the polemical diatribe SCUM Manifesto, Solanas is one of the most famous women of her era.
