Ti-Grace Atkinson

Ti-Grace Atkinson (born November 9, 1938) is an American feminist.

As an undergraduate, Atkinson read Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex, and struck up a correspondence with Beauvoir, who suggested that she contact Betty Friedan. Atkinson became an early member of the National Organization for Women, which Friedan had co-founded, serving on the national board, and becoming the New York chapter president in 1967. Her time with the organization was tumultuous, including a row with the national leadership over her attempts to defend and promote Valerie Solanas and her SCUM Manifesto in the wake of the Andy Warhol shooting.

Quotes

"The institution of sexual intercourse is anti-feminist." ("Amazon Odyssey" p. 86)

After Valerie Solanas attempted to murder Andy Warhol she said of Solanas:

"[She is] the first outstanding champion of women's rights."

"[She is] a 'heroine' of the feminist movement."
