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.

This was a tough book to read, but so very informative. These women in Ottawa, IL and in Orange, NJ paved the way for the protections we have today (re: workplace hazards and compensation), and we it is incumbent on us to remember them and their families sacrifices and hardships. Highly recommend for anyone interested in women’s history, industrial history, and the impact of capitalism on worker’s health and safety.
