Good retelling! I think it is most powerful when combined with the longer Radium Girls book, but for someone interested in just learning a bit about what happened, this would be a good introduction.

The artwork in this graphic novel was gorgeous. I loved the colored pencil work and the limited color palette. I also appreciated the storytelling and how it was told through the lens of the women's friendship.
I was just really bothered by the incredibly ableist encounter during the beach scene. I am not sure why the author included it, but I found it unnecessary and violent.
