 In the mid @-@ 1960s Solanas moved to New York City where she supported herself through begging and prostitution . In 1965 she wrote two works : an autobiographical short story called " A Young Girl 's Primer on How to Attain the Leisure Class " and a play titled Up Your Ass , about a young prostitute . According to James Martin Harding , the play is " based on a plot about a woman who ' is a man @-@ hating hustler and panhandler ' and who ... ends up killing a man " and is more a " provocation than ... a work of dramatic literature " and " rather adolescent and contrived . " The short story was published in Cavalier magazine in July 1966 . Up Your Ass remains unpublished . Harding described her as " an avant @-@ gardist " .
