"Enjoying so far...but today I realized that there has been ZERO mention of any females. Not even eluded to. No wives, female workers, politicians...I don't think there's a "she" in this book at all! Pretty funny. The closest thing was the mention of "families." I dont think Asimov meant to do this which makes it even more funny. Good thing I'm a Jules Verne fan, otherwise I may have been fazed :P" — Jun 28, 2013 10:06AM
