Valerie Solanas

Valerie Solanas (April 9, 1936-April 25, 1988) was a radical feminist who was best known for her assassination attempt of the well-known artist Andy Warhol. She also spent most of her life writing a radical feminist book entitled the SCUM Manifesto, and in it, she attempted to convince her female readers to rebel against the patriarchal system, and to also destroy the male gender.

Personality
Valerie was born in 1936 in Ventnor City, New Jersey, to Louis and Dorothy Marie Solanas. Valerie has often made the claim that her father sexually assaulted her, and eventually, Louis and Dorothy filed for a divorce. Dorothy later re-married, and soon, Valerie had a new father. However, she strongly disliked her new father, and she eventually started to rebel against him and her mother. She was kicked out of the house by her parents in 1949, and she was sent to live with her grandparents. She claimed that her grandfather was an alcoholic abuser, and she eventually severed her ties with her grandparents and left their house. In the years between 1951 and 1953, she gave birth to a son, and named him David. David was eventually taken away from her, and she never saw him again.

Despite this, however, Valerie managed to receive a degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota, and she later attended the University of Minnesota's School of Psychology. She dropped out, however, and began to formulate ideas for her infamous book the SCUM Manifesto.
