Pamela Clark

Pam grew up in a respectable middle‑class family who expected marriage, propriety, and quietness. She served as a volunteer driver during the war then when she returned home she was unwilling to shrink back into pre‑war femininity and embraced the cultural revolution of the Bloomsbury Group. She lives in a converted attic room above a book shop in Cambridge. She isn't in attendance at the university, but she challenges its authority by attending lectures and flaunting the rules. She is headstrong, feared by the traditionalists and adored by the younger women. She is independent, clever, charming to those she wants to charm whilst using debate and sarcastic comments like weapons. She is emotionally guarded but deeply loyal to the few she lets close. She has shunned the trapping of femininity and wears men's clothes and smokes with deliberate elegance using a cigarette is punctuation, not habit. She rides an ex-army Triumph Model H motorcycle to underline her rebellion against tradition
