It's appalling what happened to these poor women. I felt the book could have been shorter & the narration a bit less monotone, but I still enjoyed the book.

An intimate account is of the radium girls’ story from working at the factories, through their illness, to the last impact they had on our current workplace safety culture and relevant laws. I was horrified at the lengths the companies went to in order to avoid being held accountable as well as the tortured these women endured, but at the same time, I’ve been inspired by their strength of spirit. In this way, we remember the radium girls.

The book was very informative on the subject of the Radium Girls. There was almost too much detail and getting through the book is definitely not for the weak. I listened to a lot of it on audiobook.
