Talk:Valerie Solanas/GA1

Her Son

Why do we include the adoptive surname of her son? Irish Melkite (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

LEAD

I moved a lot of excess content out of LEAD and put here per WP:MOSLEAD, and WP:PRESERVE. If you can find some other place in the article it needs to be, then put it there. Anyhow, it should all be duplicated anyhow in the article already per policy as lead summarizes. Thanks Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Solanas had a turbulent childhood, suffering sexual abuse from both her father and grandfather, and experiencing a volatile relationship with her mother and stepfather. She came out as a lesbian in the 1950s. After graduating with a degree in psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park, Solanas relocated to Berkeley. There she began writing the SCUM Manifesto, which urged women to "overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex."[1]

In New York City, Solanas asked Warhol to produce her play Up Your Ass, but he claimed to have lost her script, and hired her to perform in his film, I, a Man, by way of compensation. At this time, a Parisian publisher of censored works, Maurice Girodias, offered Solanas a contract, which she interpreted as a conspiracy between him and Warhol to steal her future writings.

Unused source

The following source was listed at the end of the article, but never cited in it, so I am moving it here in case someone wants to go through it and see whether there's something in it to add to the article and cite to this source:

  • Script error: No such module "Citation/CS1".

Reliable Source

I'm doing a school project and decided to edit this page, specifically discussing the fictionalized cult Valerie creates in American Horror Story: Cult. Would the show itself be considered a reliable source? If not, what would be a reliable one? EMB2006 (talk) 16:18, 22 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
