It's a dystopian crime drama set in the eighties with a bleak undertone that's truly enjoyable if you can find that special kind of suspension of disbelief reserved for political moral bankruptcy and civic apathy. Don't expect a happy end.
In general, dealing with current circumstances can become easier, more bearable, less overwhelming, when we know the history of how we got here. Being well informed makes us more resistant to the (self-)gaslighting and might ease the "tense middle territory" between either obsessing about or ignoring the problem.
The short 200 pages are kind of all you need to read, in order to decide where to act. We tried almost everything we try today already in 1979. Highly recommend. Insightful, honest, nuanced.

My thesis, in other words, is that we are witnessing an escalation of violence against women, especially Afro-descendant and Native American women, because 'globalization' is a process of political recolonization intended to give capital uncontested control over the world's natural wealth and human labor, and this cannot be achieved without attacking women, who are directly responsible for the reproduction of their communities.

There might be very valuable insights in the book, but I have trouble sifting through all the anecdotes. Almost everything is explained in example dialogue of random Dianes, Alexes, Charlies, Carries, Sals and Teds. Even in helpful lists, like the list of daily rituals, there are examples to "illustrate" the point; I don't care about the way "Pete and Mara" ask each other to share their feelings. The book can probably be condensed to 10 pages, if the author would not hide their main points in paragraphs of counseling session screenplay.
