P.S. It's actually interesting to look at how the female characters in Asimov change over the 50 years or so he wrote. Reading the whole pile of Foundation all at once, with a parental lens on, was a fun study in cultural change.
The whole Asimov conversation brought me to the Ender series (I've read a few of his other things, but they didn't make much of an impression on me, tbh). Specifically in Ender's Game, there are not many female characters, but they're all strong, and they all have good hearts (Valentine, Petra, Ender's mom), while the male side is heavily populated with severe sociopaths, up to and including Ender's father and brother. In keeping with this theme, the movie adaptation decided to inject some sympathy and conscientiousness into his training phase, so they converted the role of psychologist into playing that out, and turned it into a woman's role.
It makes one wonder what it must have been like growing up in Asimov's household.
ETA: NVM, that's Orson Scott Card. Facepalm for me.
