The Girls of Atomic City: The Untold Story of the Women Who Helped Win World War II by Denise Kiernan
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
The Girls of Atomic City covers a fascinating piece of history, highlighting the women who worked in Oak Ridge during World War II without knowing the full scope of their jobs. While I appreciated the subject matter and research, the execution didn’t fully pull me in. I struggled to keep the people discussed separate, and the overall themes and messages felt heavy-handed and repetitive. I wanted more information on what was actually happening—the research, the science, and the broader impact—rather than the same repeated details of day-to-day life. It wasn’t bad, but it left me feeling a bit bored at times.
