A great read that brings a human perspective to a well-known issue.
It’s sad to read this book in 2025 and see companies continue to benefit from the insidious reality of capitalism. Companies are free to lie, break laws, and hurt people and the environment. Meanwhile the government continually loses (willingly so, under this administration) any ability to regulate these bad actors.

This book did not read like story. It read like a book report that was required to include a certain (read: WAYYYY TOO MANY) facts within it. Moore spent a lot of time discussing all the "girls" that worked with the Radium, but there were so many discussed, you are unable to get invested in any of them. I think if Moore would have followed the whole story of a one or even a handful of girls, the reader would be more invested in the story and it would have had more impact. As it stands the first 100+ pages feels a lot like the book of Genesis, with all the "xxx begat xxx" ad nauseam. I feel like the actual story of the girls has all the bones to make a really good book, but I feel like Moore missed the mark on this one. It was poorly planned out, read like she had writer's ADD, and involved a litany of characters that you wind up not caring about.

Necessary history to know! Told in a compelling and women-centric way.
