The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore

informative sad tense slow-paced

3.0

I think the overall story is incredibly important and I appreciate the author’s dedication to centering the girls themselves in the narrative. However, the pacing was very slow during the second half of the book, which mostly focused on the court dealings. I also wasn’t in love with the author’s writing style. Some of the details seemed wholly unnecessary, such as when she points out how attractive some of the people were.
