Based on everything I've read, including the recollections of the ladies themselves, I would say they all kept each other going. I can't remember which one said it, but at some point they each became a bit disillusioned, which of course is only natural for young people who are actually going after their dream, as opposed to just dreaming. At that age patience can be hard to come by. But ultimately I think they all were full steam ahead. Diana was focused from day one, same as Flo, same as Mary. I think that was probably one of the most important components of their success; they each wanted it so badly.
