What happens

Women in Revolt is a 1971 American comedy-drama film directed by Paul Morrissey and produced by Andy Warhol. Starring Warhol superstars Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, and Holly Woodlawn, the film satirizes the women's liberation movement through the story of three women who form a radical feminist group called P.I.G. ("Politically Involved Girls"). Released in the aftermath of Valerie Solanas' 1968 shooting of Warhol, Women in Revolt has been interpreted as a response to radical feminism and Solanas' SCUM Manifesto. The film features soundtrack music by John Cale. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
