I've vaguely heard mention of the Radium Girls over the years. Not much, just that they existed, they glowed because of the Radium, and that it killed them. I knew they were crucial to bring certain workplace safety measures in place, but didn't really know how.

While reading this book, I was appalled by the way the companies handled things. Like, yeah, you know the business/corporation is out for itself, but you think the humans involved would at least be sympathetic or kind. Nope.

And we hope something like this wouldn't happen in this day and age, but maybe it would. It's kind of terrifying.

Heartbreaking and important story, but not the best execution. Not sure if it was the audiobook or the writing itself but it wasn't my favorite. Well researched but sooo repetitive. Probably could have been about half the length too.

So much focus on the underage girls looks, how pretty they were, so it was a bigger deal that the radium destroyed their face and turned it into necrotic pus because they were pretty? This book was a little aggravating to read although it is a good storyline, I did not enjoy the way this was written. I read it pretty slow and she did not keep me hooked on the storyline. I ended up not finishing the book but skimming through and then tried a sample of the audio book and I would absolutely not recommend listening to that lady narrate it. A good storyline with good intentions but I don’t recommend this book.
