Michelle Orange's Pure Flame explores illness, mortality and questions of maternal legacy in the context of modern feminism. It tells the story of three women--Orange's grandmother, her mother and herself, born at the beginning, in the middle and toward the end of the 20th century--and traces the impact and influence of that centurys feminist movements through their relationships.
