The Radium Girls

the Dark Story of America's Shining Women
Jun 22, 2017laurabrary rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Fascinating and thorough look into the lives of the "radium girls" of the 1920s--the young women who painted watch dials with radium-filled paint and ingested the radium for years without intervention or warning. It was often difficult to read about the injustice and pain these women suffered, but their story and legacy is important, encouraging, and absolutely worth reading.
