This book is a respectful telling of the lives of the Radium Girls. I came into this knowing nothing about them except that they existed and I closed this book only two days later and I have a much better understanding of the situation and the girls. This takes them from a vague concept of workplace safety and transforms them into real women that lived, worked, suffered, and died. The respect the author has for these victims is evident in her writing. This is not a bland statement of facts but a real story that’s being told that makes it easy to read. I highly recommend.

Great compilation of all the research executed in a tale that unfolds our sketchy capitalistic past.

Multiple times while reading I was moved to tears. An incredible account I could hardly put down. Engaging and emotional with attention to detail and honesty.

If you're one of the people with nightmares about all your teeth randomly falling out...maybe avoid this one.
