This book is about the many many women who were infected by radium while painting watch dials. It details their struggles with both their health and their lawsuits.
I thought this book was good but a little slow. The copy that I borrowed was about 200 pages more than the actual book which I thought was a little excessive. However, I thought that the detail given to the symptoms of the girls was really amazing if a little bit gross. I thought it was really important though especially to get the full depth of all that happened to these women. Honestly, the only reason that I didn't rate it higher was because it didn't super keep my attention. And I'm not always a nonfiction person so take my review with a grain of salt.
