Women in Revolt is a 1971 American satirical film produced by Andy Warhol and directed by Paul Morrissey.[1] The film stars Jackie Curtis, Candy Darling, and Holly Woodlawn, three trans women and superstars of Warhol's Factory scene.[2] It also features soundtrack music by John Cale.[3]
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.[4]
The film was called Andy Warhol's Women when it opened at the Cinema Theater in Los Angeles on December 17, 1971.[5] It was renamed Women in Revolt by the time it opened at the Cine Malibu in New York City on February 16, 1972.[1]
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.
