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.

The film was called Andy Warhol's Women when it opened at the Cinema Theater in Los Angeles on December 17, 1971. It was renamed Women in Revolt by the time it opened at the Cine Malibu in New York City on February 16, 1972.
