He told me that people were saying that my novel was feminist and his advice to me -- and he was shaking his head sadly as he spoke -- was that I should never call myself a feminist because feminists are women who are unhappy because they cannot find husbands.
Ele disse-me que as pessoas diziam que o meu livro era feminista e aconselhava-me — e sacudia a cabeça tristemente, enquanto falava — a que nunca me intitulasse feminista porque as feministas são mulheres infelizes porque não conseguem arranjar um marido.
