From David Clarke, Seaford, East Sussex, UK
I have sympathy with the view that women don’t feature significantly in the first book of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series (2 October, p 32). I would, however, point out that in subsequent parts of the trilogy, we do see three significant and strong women: Bayta Darell, Arkady Darell and Lady Callia. Perhaps Asimov was feeling guilty.
