INTERVIEWER
You started writing at the beginning of the feminist movement, which produced a profusion of novels by women about themselves. What do you think of feminism and the way it has evolved over the past thirty years?
BAINBRIDGE
I’ve never been drawn to the feminist movement. I was brought up to believe that men had little to do with the home or children—except to bring in the money. I’ve never been put down by a man, unless I deserved it, and have never felt inferior. It seems to me that a mutually beneficial relationship between a man and woman requires the man to be dominant. A sensible woman will allow the man to think he is the most important partner.
