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.
Er sagte mir, dass Leute behaupteten,  der Roman sei feministisch und sein Rat an mich war, -- und er schüttelte dabei traurig seinen Kopf -- mich niemals als Feministin zu bezeichnen, weil Feministinnen unglücklich seien und keine Ehemänner fänden.
