Not sure what the intent of the post is exactly, but would be a great book club discussion.

Caliban and the Witch is a banger, very rich text. I think some people who haven't read it assume the "witch" part of the title is dominant and overlook the "Caliban" part, this is not simply a text on Marxist feminism (not to belittle texts that are), but really a much grander effort to discuss the psychosocial changes that were/are required of a pre-capitalist society to turn it into a capitalist one. Very cool text, she's a very cool lady with a lot to say.
