This book is an absolutely heartbreaking and inspiring story about a group of women's fight to try to hold companies accountable for the poisoning that they suffered due to the companies lying to them about the harmful effects of radium. This book was an absolutely heartbreaking and wild ride to read.
Watching these women having to not only suffer to find a diagnosis and be misdiagnosed was already heartbreaking. But also watching them having to fight tooth and nail to just be able to get any sort of compensation and help from the companies was absolutely rage inducing. The way these companies lied about these women and their conditions and what they were suffering while they were sitting there, in pain and dying, was absolutely mind blowing.
This book is such an important book to read because it's not just about the women's pain. It's about their resilience and how they worked together despite the odds to try to do right by others who would suffer like them.
I think this is a very important book to read and it should be read by everyone. The way Kate Moore handled this was so deft and well done. She showed so much respect and care for these women and their stories. I teared up in her descriptions and she showed their courage so well. I cannot recommend this book enough.

But I do love learning how a) all arguments we hear today are old af b) every bad event in history ever has had at least one person saying “this is bad you should stop”
