As good as Asimov is at writing informative science and strong fiction, he sucks at romance. Is this a 1950s problem? Maybe. Could it also be that Asimov can’t write well developed women? Probably. 
Lucky for him, I can forgive that and just focus on the space travel. But if you want strong science fiction with equally strong female characters, Asimov can not deliver.
