This book is incredibly well researched, well written and it was a very enjoyable reading experience, both physically and on audio.
The major complaint I have is that the pacing is a bit slow, particularly toward the end of section two, and for the majority of section three; when the focus shifts from the USRC girls in Orange to the Radium Dial girls in Ottowa. I felt that at this point the structure felt a tad repetitive.
My second complaint is that I found it quite challenging to keep the cast of major players straight in my mind and I feel that the author could have done a bit more to ensure the reader was able to distinguish them.

Wow. I cannot believe how little I knew about this! Such an incredible story of resilience in the face of horrific injustice. It was truly hard to read at times imagining the suffering these girls went through. I cried so many times, especially at the trial toward the end💔 These women are such an inspiration, I hope they knew the impact they would have on generations to come. Literally tearing up right now thinking about it ðŸ˜
Fuck corporate greed!!!

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.
