Two other, younger, women and a man emerged from the house in their wake.

The butler had gone into a room on the left and from there a woman emerged.

And then we saw a woman emerge from a hole in the snow.

In a moment yet another woman emerged from behind the curtain.

From somewhere in the smoke and fire a woman emerged with her young son.

"I am certain we will see women emerge," a senior official said.

Behind the man, a woman emerged from an inner room.

Before she could get her voice back, an elderly black woman emerged from the door to the kitchen.

A moment later, one of the doors into the hall opened, and a woman with a baby in her arms emerged.

Yet the old woman had emerged as the most powerful figure in the government.
