The Radium Girls

The Radium Girls a book by Kate Moore, tribute illustration, Such great book on an obscure and terrifying time in the manufacturing process and all of the mistakes and lives it ruined. I really enjoyed the part of the sharing the life of the women and then all of the litigation and cover up. And it has a lot of personality not just facts. This book with some heavy medical descriptions and the part about the jaw is what stuck with me. Radium poison was caused from the girls pressing the brush loaded with radium paint to color the dials of watches.
