- ***Correction***
-
- While looking through my files, a Seattle publication _Ecce_Queer_ "above and
- Beyond the call of assimilation"
- Vol.1 No. 1 Fall 1991
- states:
- "Valerie Solanis was a radical queer before the wimmin's movement,
- before Stonewall. After shooting Andy Warhol, she was committed to Matewan, an
- asylum for the criminally insane, where she eventually killer herself."
-
- So, I guess we can assume, that she is dead.
