At first, after Pearl left, Ming was still riding on a crest, enjoying that ‘sense of power’ she had first felt when speaking before the Feminist Club on Del’s behalf.

Her correspondence with them and her diary entries reveal a growing confidence in her political experience and familiarity with the principal players.
