Valerie Solanas: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

In 1967, Maurice Girodias of the Olympia Press, offered to publish Solanas' writings. Valerie, knowing that her writings would be owned by Girodias if she were to sign the contract with him, purchased a gun in the spring of 1968, and later hunted for Girodias, who was away from home at the time. She later found Warhol at the Factory, and she then proceeded to shoot him three times. She also shot Mario Amaya, an art critic, and attempted to shoot Warhol's assistant as well. She later turned herself over to the police and was found guilty of attempted murder, assault, and the illegal possession of a gun. She served a three-year prison sentence, and she also spent some time at a pyschiatric hospital.

When she was released from prison after serving those three-years, she continued to promote her radical feminist book, and ultimately died in a hostel of pneumonia in ~~1968~~.
