Wikipedia article




'Women in Revolt' is a 1971 American satirical film produced by Andy Warhol and directed by Paul Morrissey. The film stars Jackie Curtis, Candy Darling, and Holly Woodlawn, three trans women and superstars of Warhol's Factory scene. Jane Forth and Penny Arcade also appear in the film, with soundtrack music by John Cale.

This film is notable as the last with Warhol behind the camera. During production from 1970 to 1971, Jackie Curtis insisted that Warhol shoot the film, or she threatened to leave the project. The film satirizes the Women's Liberation Movement, and alludes to Valerie Solanas and the 'SCUM Manifesto'.

Plot



Holly and Jackie form a small group of "women's libbers". They convince Candy, a wealthy socialite who has an incestous

relationship with her brother, to join them at their meetings. The group needs Candy's membership to bring money and "glamour" to their cause.
