An intimate account is of the radium girls’ story from working at the factories, through their illness, to the last impact they had on our current workplace safety culture and relevant laws. I was horrified at the lengths the companies went to in order to avoid being held accountable as well as the tortured these women endured, but at the same time, I’ve been inspired by their strength of spirit. In this way, we remember the radium girls.
