She Shot Andy Warhol. New York Times Books Wants To Overlook This Because Of Her ‘Contributions To The Feminist Movement.’

The New York Times is urging readers to overlook a woman’s crime because of her contribution to feminism: A manifesto that argued for the extermination of men.

Valerie Solanas shot Andy Warhol in his studio in 1968. He nearly died. Yet Solanas is now getting a positive writeup in the Times’ new series called Overlooked, which is “a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.” Solanas gets an article because of her contributions to feminism.
