The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore
challenging
informative
medium-paced
5.0
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.
