This book was a fantastic read. I had learned about the Radium Girls when I was in high school but haven’t read much about them since. My librarian gave me this book to read and I’m so glad she recommended it. The story shows how important these teenagers/early 20 year women were so vital to the WWI effort by painting the radium based paint onto watch dials. But what made me angry is that so many men knew this stuff was dangerous but never told the girls it was dangerous. These poor girls, being healthy women then becoming sicker and dying for no apparent reason. I was moved by their bravery as they stood up and demanded justice for them and their families. Highly recommend this story!!
