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

dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

A story that has been swept under the rug time and time again (the author has a post-script from the*1970s*, decades after the court case), of how corporations are putting profits ahead of their employees. As the book makes very clear, the company *knew* what radium could do, and yet still instructed the dial painters to lip point their brushes. It's a horrifying, essential read about the oversight of corporations in America.
