As a queer woman in a loving, committed, relationship with another woman, I'm well outside of the book's intended audience, but it does provide invaluable insight into the age old question: are the straights okay? Decidedly, they are not

On a more serious note, I wish this went deeper into it's exploration of (straight) marriage. But, I imagine it's great as intro for anyonw who has never really thought about the history of marriage and power dynamics within gendered relationships in a patriarchal society.
