== Publication history ==
Solanas wrote ''SCUM Manifesto'' between 1966 and 1967.<ref name=fahs61>{{harvp|Fahs|2014|p=61}}</ref> In 1967, she self-published the first edition by making two thousand [[mimeograph]]ed copies and selling them on the streets of [[Greenwich Village]] in New York City.<ref name="LauraWinkiel-Sweet-p62">{{harvp|Winkiel|1999|p=62}}</ref><ref name="AmFeminism-p264">{{harvp|Castro|1990|p=264}} (''Chronology'')</ref><ref name=Singleton1999>{{harvp|Singleton|Knight|Wildin|1999|p=636}}</ref> Solanas charged women one dollar and men two dollars each.<ref name="ManifestoDestiny-VV-p16">{{harvp|Rich|1993|p=16}}</ref><ref name="WinterMemorySolanis-VV-p10-col4">{{harvp|Marmorstein|1968|p=10}}</ref><ref>{{harvp|Jansen|2011|p=139}} and see p. 146</ref> By the following spring, about 400 copies had been sold.<ref name="ManifestoDestiny-VV-p16"/><ref name="WinterMemorySolanis-VV-p10-col4"/> Solanas signed a contract in August 1967 with [[Maurice Girodias]], founder of [[Olympia Press]], agreeing to produce a novel, but asked him to accept the ''SCUM Manifesto'' in its place later that year.<ref name="ReadingWomensWorlds-p156" />

Following Solanas's shooting of Warhol, Girodias   quickly published a commercial edition of ''SCUM Manifesto'' through Olympia Press in 1968.{{sfnp|Jansen|2011|pp=140–142}} This edition included a preface by Girodias and an essay, "Wonder Waif Meets Super Neuter", by satirist [[Paul Krassner]].{{efn|Girodias published a second edition in 1970 with a foreword by radical feminist essayist [[Vivian Gornick]].{{sfnp|Jansen|2011|p=140}} }} The back cover included a reproduction of the front page of the ''[[New York Post]]'' with the headline "Andy Warhol Fights for Life".{{sfnp|Jansen|2011|pp=140–142}} Solanas objected to the editorial changes made by Girodias, including changing the title from ''SCUM Manifesto'' (without periods) to ''{{nowrap|S. C. U. M.}} (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto''.{{sfnp|Jansen|2011|pp=140–142}} In an interview with ''[[The Village Voice]]'', Solanas commented that "''none'' of the corrections&nbsp;... [she] wanted made were included and that many other changes in wording were made—all for the worse—and that there were many 'typographical errors': words and even extended parts of sentences left out, rendering the passages they should've been in incoherent."<ref>''Valerie Solanas Replies'', in Smith, Howard, & Brian Van der Horst, ''Scenes'', in ''The Village Voice'', vol. XXII, no. 31, August 1, 1977, p.&nbsp;29, cols.&nbsp;1–2 (emphasis so in original).</ref> Following the bankruptcy of Olympia Press, the copyright reverted to Solanas, who self-published a new edition in 1977 stating, "This is the {{not a typo|CORRECT}} Valerie Solanas edition", and adding an introduction "by Valerie Solanas".{{sfnp|Jansen|2011|p=140}}
