The monograph from this research will be structured as a series of small, digitally enhanced chapters, with an interdisciplinary readership in mind. As this project develops I will post some information to help you find resources about Solanas. The SCUM Manifesto, the play Up Your Ass, and letters by Solanas are copyright protected and cannot be posted here. The final monograph will be available here as an Open Access book.

This project was part of the 2022-2024 Digital Monograph Writers Workshop (funded by the Mellon Foundation and Emory College) and was supported in 2023-2024 by a Senior Fellowship at the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry.
