![]() ![]() There was sex, lots of sex, but never gratuitous. There were several points in the book that were difficult to read (yes, tears flowed) – the fear, the shame, the underlying pain was always right at the surface. ![]() Each character struggled with emotions and past wrongs, to be able to fully accept their current situation.

Born in 1936 to a working-class New Jersey family, Solanas experienced physical and sexual abuse from her father and grandfather, bore two children before the age of fifteen, began to identify as a lesbian, and attended school erratically in between occasional stints on the streets. The SCUM Manifesto was the product of years of rumination by a woman living on the margins. First produced as a mimeograph in 1967 (Solanas sold it on the streets of New York, charging fifty cents for women and one dollar for men), the Manifesto appeared in book form in August 1968, two months after its author made headlines for her near-fatal shooting of Andy Warhol, who she believed was stealing her work. Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.įerocious, deranged, hilarious, and exhilarating, Valerie Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto set out the agenda of the Society for Cutting Up Men, a revolutionary organization of which Solanas was the founder and sole member.

Films, TV series, stage plays, spin-off fictions, musicals, ballets, and cartoons are now joined by two graphic novels by Vancouver-based Kathleen Gros, in whose hands “coming of age” transforms to “coming out.”Įngagingly illustrated in full colour, both books are aimed at young readers seeking their identities as they wrestle with the complex emotions that beset adolescents, and both are set in modern urban environments where racial diversity is the norm. How might the stories of two classic young heroines, Jo March of Little Women (1868) and Anne Shirley of Anne of Green Gables (1908), unfold today, more than a century after they first appeared in print? The world of North American adolescent girls has irrevocably changed from quill pens and crinolines to cell phones and blue jeans, yet the stories of these particular characters, whose individualism and creativity reflect the experiences of their authors, remain sufficiently captivating to be retold and adapted into multiple formats.
