neverlonely 's review for:
Big Business vs. the little girls. The radium companies treated their young employees (some only teenagers) appallingly. To the very end they refused to accept responsibility for poisoning and, in some cases, even killing these young girls. Knowing what we know now, it is unfathomable that people thought radium was healthful and that these young dial painters would willingly ingest radium. Lip, dip, paint. This book offers disturbingly graphic descriptions of what radium poisoning does to the human body. I listened to the audiobook, so I had to google the pictures that were included in the print copy.
I don't know if this was in the print copy or not, but it gave a face to the names I had been hearing in the audio version: http://www.theradiumgirls.com/the-girls/4593781028
The only thing that detracted from this book for me was the horrible audio performance of Angela Brazil. Her cadence, phrasing, and pausing all seem so unnatural. Her diction is excellent - to the point of sounding like she's reciting random unrelated words. And then, out of nowhere, she practically shouts ONE WORD in the middle of the sentence without any rhyme or reason. I found it very disconcerting to listen to her
