This book was written for a different generation. I've read reviews stating how they loved the book 10-15 years ago, but recent rereads haven't stood the test of time. Why? (view spoiler)[ Mainly because Jane 
 sabotages a condom, to get herself pregnant, tricking the man with connivery and lies (hide spoiler)]. This is something I could have looked past, if I found alongside Jane's super IQ of 180, she is also autistic. Not because it gives her a free pass, but because it enables me to understand her behaviour a bit better. I don't think it's okay to hit a man, unless he's hitting you first. I stand up for the men in this one. You got the short end of the stick. 
 But Cal Bonner isn't exactly a saint....he's a little ageist so-and-so, isn't he? 
 If there is any SEP book people love, let me know. Oh and give me a heads up, if it has sexist themes involved. I hear her work can be a mixed bag - some greats mixed along with some duds.
