The novel serves as a vehicle for McClung's social activism, especially in terms of temperance, woman suffrage, and immigration policies that favour cultural assimilation. In her afterword, Cecily Devereux situates \u003ci\u003ePainted Fires\u003c\/i\u003e in the context of McClung's feminist fiction and her interest in contemporary questions of immigration and \"naturalization.\" She also considers how McClung's representation of Helmi Milander's story draws on popular culture narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-481675\"\u003eNellie L.
